    Default Highly recommend this cigar box for straights

    Just got a Gurkha Black Dragon box in the mail. Love the micro-suede lining for babying my steel. Not too hot on the orange color, but hey, this works very well. Anyone else got this great storage box?Name:  IMG_0631.jpg

    DAMN! I want one, two, three, all I can get. (Not too jealous would you say?)

    Just went to eBay and snagged one (impetuous am I) and gave up my grand scheme for retrofitting cigar boxes for razor storage. Why bother when you can snag a beauty like this. But, as gssixgun reminded me, not always a good place for continual closed storage (something to do with promoting cell rot - correct me if I am wrong). Will use it for rotation storage and leave it open most of the time so as to admire my RAD addiction.

    Got it on the bay for $20. Worth it to me. I was gonna do something similar until I found this box. I wouldn't have done as good a job as this.

    I quite like the orange..makes it pop. Looks like it will serve perfectly to hold your straights and a few more if need be Nice snag.

    I thought it was a snag too. Posting it here so others know how perfect it is for protection.
    The more I look at my collection in this baby, the more I like the orange. Lol.

    Really like it. I was actually going to take a ride to CI to see what they had lying around.

    Greed and avarice makes even the aged react rapidly when they see something that makes their pulse race. I swear there are some days that only greed and avarice are my cardio exercise.

    I find that cigar boxes make great razor storage as well. Just throw a couple dessicant packs in there and good to go. I also have a plastic Herfadore with a dessicant in it for travel. But it will hold up to ten razors. But that box you found seems perfect as is. No mods needed. Like the orange too.
