What do you do with empty boxes?

Keeping the top of dress boxes or all boxes? Curious to see what that looks like when its done!

Tops of any box; I am not prejudice.  

I figure I can JBWeld them to a large solid wood top and then pour a liquid epoxy over the top to seal in the boxes.

Your house sounds like fun. Home made cheese, charcuterie, and woodworking. 

Don't forget about the six small barrels of wine in my garage.  😉

Keep em mostly. Refill Cabs with other cigars (box code on a note inside). 
 

Wonder how a 50 Cab of Monte 4 will taste in a few years 😀

Dress boxes in the closet. SLB's are used for aging CP purchases. Keep the CP's also when I gift some. 👍

Check!  Pulled in a 15 pack of Mag 50’s last week and did exactly this.  Had an old, empty Mag 50 box and in they went!

I’ll take notable or interesting ones down to my cigar lounges for display.

My kiddos have more than a few in their play area with various toys and “sleeping” stuffed animals in them.

The wife uses them to store sewing stuff and office supplies.

Save a few for custom rolls.  Some I collect/display if they're unique/vintage.  Some I give away.  But before doing so, I strike out the box/date code and write SMOKED in black marker, so they can't be used for nefarious purposes.

Not going to lie, I'm 100% certain I could do a better job.  Granted, the bar has been set pretty low, and it's not yet finished being lowered.

Store my fly tying stuff in them.

I've made a display of mine....I'm a hoarder. I can't throw them out. They're too beautiful to part with

Dress boxes I mostly throw away but I’ve kept more recently in case I ever need to deal with plain packaging. 
 

Cabinets I tend to keep more of and do use some for customs. A while back my wife took some of the cabinets apart and made some very nice coasters.

A prosciutto in every dark basement, only the stinkiest of cheeses, and plenty of dark, heady homebrew for all the kiddos.

That is a great idea!

Oh wow! Those turned out great. Might be doing that as well. What did she use for a coat on those?

Those look fantastic.  Might have to try that out.

After cutting and sanding she said she used a stain similar to cedar and then wax both from Minwax.

I’ve made mine into a huge Jenga tower in my office.

Gives us something to play with once we’ve finished all the wine, jamon and cheese.

I mostly just at throw them into the bin, unless I can use them to house other customs or singles

My partner has been using them for crafty stuff around the house. And it's about time. I've got my smoking room half filled with them. 

What I ought to do is break the wooden ones down and use as partitions in my humidors. 

And I like to give gifts of Cubans to my partners coworkers, so I reuse the boxes. They love it. Real Cubans (and lately a great way to dump a lot of my D4s).
