I am sure this topic has been debated quite often, but could I get a list of the best types/brands of boxes to make CBGs with?
I am interested in a larger/deeper one that has minimal paper glued to it. I would like some labels, or even better, wood-burned or inscribed insignia indicating cigar brand, but as little glued-on paper as possible.
If the box was rectangular, as opposed to square, that would be best, and with a large soundboard/face size as well as a decent amount of depth.
Finally, if you could suggest a good source for these where they can be bought as cheaply as possible, that would excellent.
I know, I know: this is probably the MOST common type of request for information builders could have, but I would really appreciate your help.
thank you,
KK

I found JFR are very simple plywood boxes burned in logo and sound awesome no paper they are super deep I have some pics on my page of a couple Im currently working on the vid on may give you an idea of the sound I play it acoustic at the end of the demo. Hope this is helpful.
Awesome! Thanks, sounds good.
Your guitars look killer! That appears to be the size I am looking for.
Google a near by cigar smoke shop stop in and ask I find they cant get rid of them fast enough some times a couple bucks. If ya ask nice they may hold a certain one for you if they are cool. Take a look around the humidor that's where I get a lot of Ideas. Then when ya see one ya like just ask they are usually laid back at the cigar shop.
don't discount the use of a double wine box ;-)
Thanks!
Do you use these often? I assume you would just get them from a wine shop?
Hi KK,
It's also pretty easy to build your own boxes and not be restricted by the dimensions of available cigar boxes. You could then come back and decorate them as you please using wood burner tools, or a number of other finishing techniques. My CBN discussion group talks a lot about box building: Home Made Resonator Boxes 101, v.2.0.
