Attempts have been made in Germany to make cigar boxes out of paper instead of out of expensive woods, and the result is said to be very satisfactory. They are made waterproof by bting covered with a varnish, and the name of the Srra and the quality of the cigars are put on the boxes during the process of manufacture. The advantages of these boxes are that they weigh little, last a long time/and cost little to produce.
