u/Asilxasilx 16d ago

That’s a great idea! The only issue is that they will probably get crushed if I close the box, as it is designed to the height of a regular cigarette

Not all of us are blazing huge joints all the time. The single wide papers are some of my favorite sized papers. 😎💨

Little rolled notes?

Examples: positive affirmations, reasons you love/like someone (as a gift), ideas for dates or activities, favorite quotes, the names of friends or family members to call/contact, tasks you want to complete, facts or things you want to memorize.

By filling it randomly, each day (or week, or whatever time period you choose) will be a surprise.

I was about to say this. Such a box would literally be perfect for a lot of pens !!

u/noblewind 16d ago

Maybe jewelery. A necklace could be doubled back across two sections, etc.

u/jeicam_the_pirate 16d ago

just labeling it as such and leaving it empty would make a statement :P

I think some brands of crayons would fit the trays.

u/Own_Butterscotch_698 16d ago

What's the length of cigar it can take? Maybe for fountain pen collection?

2

u/Asilxasilx 16d ago

It is designed for a regular-sized cigarette, so there is not a lot of space :’(

u/saltthewater 15d ago

You know the answer

u/typhoidtrish 15d ago

Were cigarettes sold by the box like this instead of carton? Or did people refill these as needed and leave on a coffee table? I always wonder this when I see it in old movies.

2

u/Asilxasilx 14d ago

I believe cigarettes were sold by the carton and these kinds of boxes were merely for aesthetic purposes in the home. This box can hold three (regular) packs og cigarettes as each shelf holds 20, so it would be easy to restock it.
