I have always had a 'thing' for well crafted wood boxes with a story, cigar or otherwise.

The Monticristo petite edmundo box is a SBN box (semi boite nature) rather than a dress box

My fave boxes so far are ones like these..
Only 10 rather than a cab though...

A cab is more to do with the shape other known as SLB what you have is a dress box some are wooden with printed paper covering then others are plain wood like yours all depends on the marca

Which is true. But there is a strange little anomaly in the cigar World, and it only applies to this cigar .... why do some retailers sell Boli BF Cabinet slightly cheaper than dress box?

Probably the difference between what is perceived as the nicer product for retail against what the aficionado may prefer for ageing.

Yeah I use a trinidad reyes 12 varnished box for cutters and lighters too

They're handy and look cool too!

The Hemmingway boxes are all great. I've got one that I keep cutters in.

Totally agree with that - the Short Story box I have is gorgeous!

Thanks chaps.
It's probably daft, but for me it feels like they need to come in proper solid wooden boxes, otherwise I feel like I may as well buy singles and fivers - I love wooden boxes, as they add an extra dimension to the whole cigar experience.
I'm really looking forward to getting a box of bhk's for that very reason

Have you never seen how they're made? The cardboard ones your talking about are made from cedar too and take just as much effort to make

Also wooden cabs are preferable for ageing. The paper lined 'dress boxes' are far more susceptible to taking on moisture and encouraging mould.
