Now they are bidding on empty boxes (Olivio O Box) with no cigars inside! I thought the NBA official looking basketball was a reach or the amazing Wedge, but this is unreal!

What next, empty shipping containers from Dominican Republic or Houndouras?

If you take a look, you'll see that CB sells empty boxes on a regular basis ... nothing new there ...

The local stores everywhere sell empty boxes as well, both the wood ones and the others ... since the Olivia "O" blacks come in some extremely unique boxes I'll betcha no one has any trouble selling them ...

Under the circumstances, I wasn't a bit surprised to see them being bid for ...

Some boxes, such as the Gurkha Master Select, make extremely nice humidors. 15 bucks for a nice 25 capacity humidor to store flavored cigars or acids... not a bad idea.

I got an opus x box in a raffle last year with various smokes inside. I gave the box to Jcrimmins. One man's treasure......

Uh-huh, I am impressed indeed, since I have all of these empty boxes I guess I should consider them collectables----NOT! Yes, I know cigar stores sell them for $2 to whatever! E chick makes purses out of them maybe I can make model airplanes out of some of them or paint them and sell as art pieces.......to each his own! I was interested in the Olivo Maduros not the box!

Who's got the best boxes? Some of these babies make good humi's. I think the Oliva O's and the Bahia's are some of the best. I'm told the Torano Exodus box is pretty cool.

Any others?

Perdomo Estate Selection boxes are nice ... they even have a tray and a built in humi-device.

Francisco Farach boxes make great humis and so do La Luna boxes. The La Luna boxes not only have a great seal but have trays and look great.
