Stringent anti-smoking laws in Ireland wont allow shops to display cigars, the boxes are cosigned to back rooms. Tobacconists are virtually extinct so it is hard to find a shop that might have a few boxes waiting to be skipped.
I was lucky enoughh to get a few boxes from the Decent Cigar Empirium in Dublin, at the top end of Grafton Strret. Anyone visiting Dublin should head in, you might not get a Cigar Box from them, but boy what a place, smells of Cuban coffee and tobacco and they play Hispanic music on their CD machine.
Anyone know of a good source iof cigar boxes in the UK? And , is it cheating to make your own?

I've made a few out of birch plywood off cuts. Probably better built boxes than Cigar Boxes but they don' t have the IT factor.
It's definitely not cheating to make your own. Many use cookie tins and biscuit tins or other hollow containers too.
