Hey guys,
I have discovered a new way to use old cigar box's.... BURN 'EM

I had a couple of old cigar boxes that were not suitable for using as storage, they were made either completely out of aromatic cedar, or had cedar linings. This wood was very dry, and I tried to use pieces of it to start a fire as kindling. Gosh ! it worked GREAT ! The panels are flat and weigh nothing, and can fit in a pack or bag easily . Burning cedar smells good too. Just thought I'd pass this idea along. :campfire:

I have done this myself and they certainly catch easily, but I'm unlikely to be given another empty box...!

I couldn't do that, I use them for everything including making guitars.

Infact I think I might post a how to on this. I think anyone can make up a bushcraft diddly bow with a cigar box sound box.
