What to do with boxes?

[8zeros]

Empty boxes. I save them but I don't know why. About 15 years ago I threw a bunch away or gave some away. Now I have a big stack of them again.
I use them for nuts and bolts. Pieces and parts. Sh!t and stuff. But I was wondering what others have done with their empty boxes.
Watcha say?

My wife uses some of mine for crafts and whatnot. Cool ones I keep, others toss.

I have a good friend who covers them in cigar labels
and other assorted fabrics, then sells them as 'art'.
If you ever want to unload some, let me know
& I'll cover your postage.

One addition: my wife tries to sell the one's I don't plan on keeping at our neighborhood yard sale. She probably sells about 1/2 of them.

I've used a couple to put beads in, they are great because they are shallow and the beads are spread out / more surface area. Others I have given to friends for whatever they wanted, one guy is making a cigar box guitar with his son as a hobby project, I gave him a large box (2) and a couple for his son, smaller box for smaller guitar.

I use the cabs and SLB boxes for singles and the dress boxes make great bonfire starters and smell great in the process.

I've got a small box that I use for bands, matches from shops, and extra lighters. It's actually getting a bit full, I should probably get another one.

I hoard them like those freaks on TV. Now my basement is full of them. It's a sickness i tell ya.

I have used 4 to make custom gun storage. Cut foam to fit in box and then cut out for the pistol and mags if needed. They stack nice in the safe!

Depending on how they look, remove the tops and create a wall collage of your favorite smokes in your man cave and/or area.

I used to save them, then the spare bedroom was too cluttered, now just throw them out, or take them to the shop and sell them.

[massphatness]

I usually burn them

My wife also sells my empty boxes at the garage sell. My local B&M made a display wall with the empty boxes, and everyone loves it. Now a lot of the guys are doing this in their houses.

Once I get my man/cave built (hopefully this year) I plan on doing that too.

I'm planning on making a light stand out of them.

You better save the nice ones cause the FDA want all art work removed from them.

Nope FDA. Check this out: http://cigarobsession.com/2014/03/03...s-and-the-fda/

If the regulations are passed without modifications you can kiss walk in humis, cigar box artwork and advertising good-bye. The FDA would be able to regulate the amount of nicotine within a cigar and new blends would have to be submitted for approval through the FDA, much like experimental drugs. Seriously scary stuff.

As for empty boxes, I use them to hold all sorts of odds and ends kind of stuff. They make for handy storage of pipe smoking accessories as well.
