How many of you collect them? I see a bunch at flea markets and antique shops. Then you have the B&Ms that sell them. Just kinda made me wonder.

I collect them, but they're all full of cigars! Actually I've only bought one full box in my my life, though I have an old antique humidor cabinet that isn't really airtight. So I keep cigars in cigar boxes inside it, humidified with Boveda packets, and that works well.

I have collected them for years. I don't have a lot, but they are very useful. I am finding my old ones as we unpack from the move and am using them for pipes, tools, tobacco and all sorts of things now. I really like the cedar ones.

Big sticks cigar shop where we hold our meetings stacks them by the door, free for the taking, just like the old days.
I can't blame a proprietor especially a tobacconist squeezing every nickel he can though.

I have a few I got free a years ago that are being used, one has a few cigars in it with a Boveda pack.
The other 2 contain miscellaneous pipes accessories & my Zippo collection.
I picked up a couple more awhile back at one of the pipe club meetings, but so far they're just collecting dust.

Imagine a kid starting school, bringing his pencils, rulers and such in a cigar box like many of us did.
He would probably be severely reprimanded, and told what an evil bastard Sir Walter Raleigh was.

I give mine to our cleaning lady. I'm not sure what she does with them but they're nice boxes and very well made.

I have a couple of them stashed around the house - use them for storage of little things like pens and pencils, etc. But I don't collect them, just use them. I have one very old one that I bought in an estate lot on Ebay.

I am a pure 1 st edition player! That is ridiculous! I haven't played 1st edition since maybe the 1st grade- Most recently I was playing 3rd edition in the Army ten years ago, though I saw the 5th edition books at the shop a couple weeks back and felt the urge to see whats changed. |

Now I'm feeling really old. In 1977, Pong was incredible Asteroids, was a real game changer PAC-Man was friggin' entering the George Jetson era. Or was that the George Jensen era? |

I remember the leap from Atari to NES. Then Sega and the Sega Genesis. Super NES. PlayStation. Etc. Graphics going from blocks to shapes to CGI. Now my wife's computer is not much bigger than a cigar box. Maybe we can use these cigar boxes to store old game systems and computers when the new versions come out. |

Haha TrailBoss and BillyKlubb. You two know that Dungeons & Dragons is a board game played with books and dice right? Nothing futuristic there.

When my older brother used to walk out of his room with "the" House of Windsor cigar box I knew there was a chance he'd let me go on the hunt with him.
Box contents: Couple cigars. Tin of Flying Dutchman. Some pipe cleaners. Ramses and Trojan enz, Sheiks.
The Ancient Figures of Condomania probably died of rot, but we had a good time driving and smoking.
