My wife uses cigar boxes and decorates them so that they can be used for keeping jewelery & keepsakes. The problem that she is having is that our local cigar shops don’t usually have many god boxes for sale. She needs wooden boxes in various sizes that haven’t been covered in paper so that she can easily paint and or lacquer them. Does anyone know where we can buy some online or in the Seattle area?

There used to be cigar manufacturing places around and I guess that would be a good place to start.
I am still wondering why the Fluther gods thought I would have the answer to this question when I live in a totally isolated part of the NT of Australia, hehehe????
I also have friends who are cigar smokers. I ask them for theirs. Check out local cigar “clubs” in the area. Go where are the really weathy guys hangout. Mingle and ask for empty boxes. Tell them it’s for charity, you’ll get a better response.
Tobacco shops will often sell cigars individually, then sell you the empty boxes for a small price.
Thanks for the tips everyone!
Craft stores are a good place to find inexpensive plain wooden boxes – I know they had some last time I was at Michael’s, and if you have a JoAnn Fabrics or a Beverly’s near you, they’d probably have them too.
Also, if you have secondhand/antique stores near you, she might be able to find some there. Those places often buy up whole estates and then sell the little things (like cigar boxes) for very cheap, just to get rid of them.
