    I love boxes too! Where do you get cigar boxes? Am I making a poor assumption to think that you probably didn't smoke all of those cigars?

    HAHA. A box of cigars would last me a lifetime. A convenience-lottery.ticket-cigar store down the road from my old apartment ... the store clerk let us rummage through and pick some choice boxes to take with us.
