More boxes!
Now I need to find foam and/or make the wooden dividers.

Dividers, try Lowes or Home Depot! A frame for a door or for around the rooms floor may work well. I’m sure you can find thin sturdy wood strips at one of those stores. And a can of stainer, that’ll do! Did you find the cigar boxes at thrift shops?

I have good wood for dividers, it’s more I need to find a way to efficiently cut them square and neat and then set them perfectly in the boxes. Easy enough to plan out, much more difficult to execute. Might need to pick up a router or something like that.
Don’t want to stain them because I want to preserve the cool paper labels and tax stamps.

I want the one with the lion logo. I’d buy it from you hands down, just shoot me a PM and I’ll send you payment heck if you have a price I’d sent payment in advance. I was trying to find that cigar box brand and I had no luck. My uncle and my dad’s cigar boxes are either chipped or too fancy with a thermometer in it and varnished.

I’ve been looking around the house for something to use as a DIY case and your post reminded me that I had a cigar box around here somewhere. I already had the foam too, so I just needed to get the infamous tomato paste can to cut my holes. Here are my results. Thanks for the idea!
I now call these yoyos my Montague collection.

Looks awesome! I am really enjoying the classy/cool look of the wooden boxes. Such a different feeling than having them in a plastic bag, no?
Anyways, for those interested, I still have one more box available for sale!

Same places you buy cigars! Tobacco shops.
I ended up buying a bunch in bulk, even then, these things aren’t particularly cheap because you need to find ones in good condition, that are attractive and that are appropriately sized.
Here’s a particularly nice one that I finished last night for Matthew:
Hit me up if you want one like it!

Got my 2 throw case and it’s just brilliant. Smells super classy, looks amazing, will be perfect to set on a desk rather than my usual HSYY cases. Will post up pics once i receive some nice new throws in the mail to put in it.
