Questions About Old Cigar Box
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell how old a cigar box is, look for the caution notice. Caution notices are required by law but before 1910, they were pasted on the cigar box.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How long you can keep cigars in a box depends on whether the box is open. Sealed boxes may keep cigars fresh for a few months. After you open the box, you should smoke the cigars within one month or place them in a humidor to keep them fresh. You'll find a selection of cigar boxes on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, although whether or not a cigar box can be used as a humidor depends on its design. Only cigar boxes that seal well and are crafted entirely out of wood and lined with cedar should be used as humidors.

- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023There are many things you can do with old wooden boxes. Depending on their size, you can use them as toy boxes, desks, coffee tables or nightstands.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cigar boxes can be made of cardboard, paper and several kinds of wood. Spanish cedar is a popular choice for cigar boxes but mahogany, white oak and elm are also common. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique cigar boxes from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023To preserve old wooden boxes, you can apply an oil or clear coat finish. Products that may be suitable for use include linseed oil, clear lacquer and polyurethane. However, you should always read the label on products first to ensure that the finish or oil is safe to use on the type of wood. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of wooden boxes.
