Cigarette Box

GlynD

I'm trying to find cigarette boxes for display on tables. I've been through Google and can't find anything outside the antique. Has anyone any idea where these can be bought?

Ebay should have loads.....what's putting you off antique ones though? Genuine antiques are often better value than their more modern counterparts.

Cigarette boxes have got a limited market, obviously, but a good silver plated/carved wood/inlaid one shouldn't be much money.

Depends what you're after, looks wise. Any box, of the right size, is a cigarette box if you put cigarettes in it.

I've been through e-Bay already and didn't find what I wanted. I'll have another go.

I don't want anything antique because, generalising, they don't suit my taste. Of course I could get a surprise.

Yes I was thinking that but my imagination seems limited today which is why I'm seeking help.

Have you tried Amazon? Not sure if you're after an actual cigarette box (or case) ... they have cheap ones there? I got one for £4.99 which suits me! Silver coloured, with engraving.

I'd get a blank box, from a craft shop - take an empty cig packet down for size checking .... see if it fits inside. Then paint/decorate it yourself.

Been through Amazon - nothing. It's a cigarette box I want, as per the OP, for putting on a table.

Good idea!
