I need some help from y'all,
I've got a cool idea for a shadow box project that I need some cool looking cigar box lids for, and lots of cigar bands. I've got quite a few cigar bands, but could use some more as well. I only need a few cigar boxes, or just the lids if you have them laying around. What all do you have to choose from?
Thanks,
E
You looking for what the inside or outside of the lid looks like?

Outside, it will be the center piece of the deal.

Heck, depending on what the inside looks like, I could probably turn it around and use the inside instead. Something to play with.

Here's what I have on hand:
That Ava Maria one interests me, I'll shoot you a PM.

Damn, I just threw away 6 or 8 boxes
I always toss my boxes as soon as I empty 'em, sorry!
Here are a few.
any one in particular? i have a bunch.
Nothing really in particular, just some that look good, colored maybe, something that is a good focal point. Something bright in color, cool catchy design, etc. it is going to be the center piece of the design.

Trent, what is the finish like on that Camacho box? Is it a gloss finish? Would the sticker come off the corner without it messing up the top finish of the lid?
E
One like that Namukabi box in Kent's wall art post would be cool to get. What cigar is that off of? Some special edition Namukabi?

Everything about the Ave Maria line's packaging is fantastic. My favorite so far.
I post some boxes later tonight and see if it's anything you want. I have a few hundred bands too if you want them

It is a gloss finish. I don't see why the sticker wouldn't come off with a little heat.

Interested to see them, and the bands i want for sure!

Damn....I just got rid of 3 garbage bags full of boxes before Christmas...got tired of them being on my back as a future project :)
Ok Emerson here are some of the boxes I have laying around. The 3rd picture shows the 4 that have art on the inside when opened. I throw my bands inside cigar jars, and would say there has to be 200-300 bands in there. Pm me if you are interested in anything.
I have a Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters box/lid I would depart with if you want it, as well as an Oliva Series V Melanio Petite Corona, Tatuaje Lancero Sampler, and allegedly a Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos (ISOM)... Sorry no pics right now am at work.
What is that Leroy vs. the dark master made out of Brian? Also, can't see the Partagas in the bottom right of the one pic very well, is it glass topped or something?

Funny!... looks a lot like Doug!!
Well,
I got a few things in the mail today, 4 to be exact. One was a trade for rum, another was a geek critique with boxes and bands and bomb, and the other 2 were boxes and bands and a bomb to boot in one. It amazes me how generous this community is when it comes to helping each other out. Evidently, I have more bands on the way as well, looking forward to getting them from Doug and Brad.
Thanks everyone!
Emerson
