A
cigar box is a
box container for
cigar packaging. Traditionally cigar boxes have been made of
wood,
cardboard or
paper.
Spanish cedar has been described as the "best" kind of wood for cigar boxes because of its beautiful grain, fine texture, and pleasant odor. Eucalyptus and yellow poplar have been popular substitutes that were sometimes stained and scented to resemble it. Other typical woods for cigar boxes include mahogany, elm, and white oak; less-popular are basswood,
Circassian walnut, and rosewood.
