No but I have a couple of bankers boxes full of loose, bank folder and albumed coins that my Grandmother left me via my uncle. Mostly lightly circulated coins that she got from the bank but there are a few uncircs. And some of them are holder and album toning nicely.
Have a couple of boxes at my credit union but they do not allow smoking there. Also have a trunck of mint and proof set in the closet. And I do have three differnent change jugs on my dresser. But alas no Cigar boxes any more.
I got a 40oz. box of whitman's sampler that i gutted then put dividers in for my silver 2x2s. First time that anything i visualized in my head actually fit and looked like i wanted it to.

I have a cigar box full of circulated Wheaties, one mostly full of pre-'58 Jefferson nickels as well as dateless Buffs and a third with junk silver in it.
I don't smoke cigars. I used to make guitars out of the boxes, much like this one: Not me, my guitar or photo. Just posted to give an idea of what I was talking about.
Ha ! I've use a nice looking Humidor instead of a box...it sits outs in the open as a "decoy" but really it's so I can play with my coins when I'm bored
I used to use a cigar box to house all of my 'half-dime-related' items. However, after the tragic and untimely death of my good friend and mentor Russ Logan in 2002, his wife Brenda gave me a custom made, wooden, double row box with fitted cover, beautifully crafted with precision dovetail joinery, and finished with a hand rubbed lacquer. It was one of several such boxes that Russ had made to house his fabulous collection of early Bust coinage. I was honored to receive such a momento, and at first left it empty, looking for just the right thing to store in such a quality box. It then occured to me that Russ would find it fitting to store my half-dime-related items in his box. It now houses half dime love tokens, stick pins, bracelets and necklaces made from half dimes, a finger bowl with a half dime in the bottom, a tiny spoon made from a half dime, numerous buttons made from both Bust and Seated half dimes, a letter opener with encased half dime, cuff links made from half dimes, and a blown glass piece with an encapsulated half dime. One can spend an enjoyable hour or two just perusing the fascinating and historic items stored in this fabulous box.
