    Default cigarette box

    I am working on a project for my wife. She rolls her own cigarettes and I am making a box for her to store the ones she makes. my dilema is what should i use to finish the inside? I was going to use felt or flocking and even thought of lining it with cedar. My concern is with the oils in the wood bleeding into the cigarettes.

    I will post some pics of the box once it is completed.

    I would go for the cedar . Is'nt that used to line humidors. Also no bits of flocking to stick to the smokes . But then again if you convinced your wife to give up the habit you could use the box for something else.
    I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

    They use Spanish cedar in humidors.
    You could line it with health warning posters.

    ciggies aren't the same as cigars, they dont stay in the box for long.
    Line it with some pretty fabric, Damask, is cotton with a silky look usually mono coloured with a floral pattern woven in, looks classy, jaccard or jaquard (sp) is similar, but in silk, even classier

    just stay away from synthetics
