If you haven't got to know me yet, I have a tendency to go the hell off from time to time. I can believe how stingy my "local shop" is with his damned empty boxes. Thank God for this site. He can kiss my white ass. Piece of ****! ram27bat

My local sells empties for $1 each. I have a few sliding boxes, Liga, Tats, Pepin. Shipping is the biggest issue.

I know you don't know me from Adam, but I'll cut you boys a deal. If you can part with any cigar boxes of any kind (I'm really trying to get this business off the groung), I will sharpen one (1) knife for you. Now, when I say sharpen, I mean razor sharp. I'm giving ya'all my address and phone number below so that you can track me down if I screw you over, but that not in my nature. My momma and daddy raised me right and the Army instilled and huge amount of honor in me. I take care of those that take care of me. That's a pretty good deal, at least from where I sit. I'm doing everything in my power to get this business up and going and any support would be more then appreciated. I'm trying to get the Va to cover the cost of a new shop with new tools......would only run them around $12,000. Not a bad price for being a bullet catcher for'em.

Let me look at what I have - I know for sure there's a few tats and some others (four kicks, oliva maybe) How about I ship em to you and you send me back one clock?? How many empties would you need to cover making one clock?

There's no given number brother. Hell, I'm good with one for one. Totally up to you. Just specify which one you want to be your clock and I'll make it up special for ya.

Find another B&M and buy more cigars. What's the problem?

Shpos are always overpriced. Very niche market and they gotta eat too.

I have a local that's owned by Indians dots not feathers. I tell them their prices are too high by not buying from them $8.50 for a Nub 460 Habano is bs. Plus they specialized in keeping empty boxes humidified.

I may have to go back and see what they got for you.

Exact same situation here brother. I think my Dot wants $9 for a Nub.....Brick wall . The he has the nerve to bitch to me about how his cigars aren't selling. Think

I can see the donation thing at $5......as long as I was 100% sure that all of it was going to charity and not into some grubers pocket. ram27bat
