I'm gluing all of my dress boxes together to make a wall hanging for my smoking room.

I use the boxes that have good seals to store bundle cigars with a water pillow or Boveda pack. The other wood boxes I use to store my cigar bands for some future project. The rest are sitting on a shelf in the garage.

I never thought of Ebay... That's not a bad idea! :D

mine pile up in the garage because

you never know when you're gonna need them right?!?!

I sound like my pack rat wife, I should make a fire as well

I actually did need one about a year ago, made a fantastic coffin for a dear departed hamster

I keep them because I never know when they'll come in handy.

Looking forward to seeing some project pics. I keep the good ones for singles that I have no room for in the drawer. The others are just piling up.

My kids like to put baseball cards and crayons in them.

Re: what to do with old boxes??
 
it sure sounds like several of you guys are either throwing away a lot of boxes or letting them collect dust! if none of you wanna get rid of some instead of burning/trashing them, shoot me a PM and I'll take em! I have a ton of boxes around the house that I use for different art/decorative projects, and I'd be willing to work out some sort of trade w/ someone.

Don't burn 'em...

I have re-lined a humidor with cedar Tatuaje, Padron & Coronado boxes.

I give the dress boxes to my kids for their matchbox cars.
(cigarbox cars;))

I use them for shipping sometimes.

I use them to occupy space or add cedar to other humis.

Storage.

and more...

I usually just keep the beautiful ones and the cedar ones.

Make cigar box guitars, basses and other stringed instruments and start a band. Do they have any other use?

I've actually considered doing this. I'm not musician, but living in the city that gave birth to the Father of the Blues, who also made his own cigar box guitar, it seems appropriate that I do so. I've studied up a bit on this, and I'll be sure and post pics if it's a project I'm willing to devote some time to.

Me as well. With a 5 and a 3 year old, you can never have too many craft supplies.

Feel free to send them to me full ;)
