Ahah! I knew I'd pique your interests, you dogs! I have a question regarding cigar boxes and the women in your lives (unless you are into purses). When I met Jim (jjohnson28) a few weeks ago, he gave me a cigar box and said that his wife makes or is going to make purses out of them and that I should try it too. I thought it was a great idea, how unique. Jim said that boutiques sell them for a lot of money. Well, I hadn't really noticed any before, maybe 1 or 2 (and being esplendidoschick, you think that I would have) until last week. I guess I was in the "shopping" mode or something 'cause it seemed that I was in quite a few stores. I saw a small plain wooden cigar box purse selling for $60.00 in one store. Then I saw another one at a different store. It was a black Maduro box, rather large for $100. Very pretty. And then another one that was the most elaborate with silk fabric and nicer hardware on the outside. Are you ready for this??? It was $210.00! You guys are sitting on a gold mine! I'm thinking, we should work something out here and set up shop!!! Do you or anyone you know make these purses or other items from the boxes? I know that one of your wives makes Christmas things out of the tubes. Where could I get an abundance of cigar boxes? Smokeshops? And finally, do you think a Dremel type tool would work best for drilling to install handles and corner hardware or a regular drill with a small bit? I'm not sure how much torque I need for wood vs cardboard boxes...I'm just kidding, I don't have a clue what to do 'cause I'm just a girl...HELP!
