I made this sweet cigar box chest of drawers thing today...

It turned out pretty sweet.
I kept spaces between the drawers for air circulation.
I used desiccant paper to line the bottoms of the drawers, that way there's no concern about whether or not the sticks will get humidified.
I started on the project late yesterday afternoon, just got done with it awhile ago.
Most of the time was in waiting for glue to set, really.
More pics coming after this one...

This is a shot of the inside of the drawer that shows the dessicant paper.
It's a little puckered up, I need to cut it down a bit more. I figured the cigars would weigh it down so I really didn't give two shits.

This is a close shot of the outside corner. I left the tax stamps to keep the cigar box feel. I added the ribbon just to give a little more authenticity to the box. You can also see the old hinge holes and the pulled back corner. The pulled back corner was me with the clamps. I saw it when I was building the box and chose to leave it, once more because I wanted it to be more roughly constructed like a cigar box.

This is a shot of the right side drawers. I used the original hasps from the boxs to make the drawer pulls. The flip up and are real easy to grab. More authenticity, too.

"Thats so cool! Can you disclose more info on how you made it?How I made it..."
Table saw, clamps, lots of glue and my girlfriend coming up with ideas.
There are glides inside that hold the drawers up, they're also cut from the box material.
These are all Serie G Tubo boxes. I intended to use them for trays in my wine coolers but ended up stealing some to make this chest of drawers.
Ultimately it's going in one of my wine coolers.

That looks nice, how much you want for one?
One beelyun dollars.

Way cool! Is it pretty sturdy? How much to make one?
It cost about $500 to make, but I got to keep a lot of cigars.
I didn't intend to build it, and it was really made from scrap, so it just as easily cost nothing. The dessicant paper is about 15 bucks a sheet and I had to cut up two sheets but I have a bunch left from those two sheets.
It's very sturdy, but I wouldn't sit on it.
 
I've never heard of "dessicant paper"
I don't think you would want paper sucking the moisture out of the bottom side of the cigars.... Am I missing something??

Looks very cool, and a nice way to organize your smokes!!! :tu
