Hi all, I am living in Thailand and building CBGs for about a year.
I will be returning to the UK this year and looking to continue building. My question is 'where is the best place to buy cigar box's? Where do you get your box's from?
Cheers
Rich

Hope this isn't too late to help. I just found this looking for something else. Hope it helps.

I have found these are good https://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/other-accessories-empty-cigar-boxes-c-13...
Large cigar boxes are hard to find in the UK. As a substitute old wood 35mm photo slide boxes that Boots used to sell can be bought off eBay (the ones that hold 175 slides are 12” long). Prices vary, but around £12 to £18 is the usual sale price. Just search eBay for “wooden photo slide box” and click the “cameras and photography” category.
Cheers mate. I will look
Ever heard of The Godfather of cigarbox guitars? He has a one stop shop store complete with all the parts, kits & custom built cbg’s? He’s out of Birmingham? https://www.chickenbonejohn.com/
