| Carrillo packages their cigars in very
nice boxes with a good outside finish and hardware. Here are two
that I have re-purposed for fountain pen storage.
Black Box in a Velvet Envelope - SOLD Inaugural Edition Box - SOLD
|
|
| I recently came across a very beautiful
cigar box. It is gloss black on the outside and fits into a velvet
envelope. It features high quality hinges and the interior was
unfinished but high quality bare wood. I decided to go with a
"minimalist" interior to avoid clashing with the generally
high class look of the box. I used beige felt to line the bottom
and sides and made felt-covered dividers in the same color. I also
added a pair of small rare earth magnets as catches for the lid.
It holds ten pens.
I could have covered the inside of the lid with felt so that the pens could never touch wood, but thought it was too pretty to cover up. I may add a loose flap to protect the pens. This box was sold recently. |

Inaugural Edition Box -SOLD
This box measures 6 1/2" by 9" by 1 1/2". It holds eleven pens of a maximum length of 5 1/2" capped. It has brass hinges and catch and the tray is flocked in green. The sides of the box are lined in matching green felt. I did not line the lid because it is quite pretty, but could do so if that is desirable. Cost: $30 USD, including shipping in the USA. |
