Storage of Cigar Case Collection

After establishing your collection, properly storing it ensures that it will remain in good condition for many years to come. If you display your antique cigar boxes, place them in a dry area away from the ground – especially if you have children or pets. Clear gun cases can be modified to showcase your cigar box collection and are equipped with locks to protect your cases from theft and damage. Never store your cigar boxes in a damp basement or public storage facility. Damage from mold and pests can destroy the value of a beautiful antique cigar box.

Cigar boxes are popular juggling props. Their rectangular shape resembles that of its namesake; they are sometimes padded on the ends and/or the sides with a felt-like material

Auggie, thanks for the comment here! Juggling cigar boxes, making them into box guitars or even just a standard case display intrigues me. The more historically related cigar box info is always interesting to read. I wonder if you have any blurbs or reference info on famous old-timey jugglers who used boxes in their show.
