What Are the Different types of Cigar Boxes You Use?
All kinds! I literally get dozens of different sizes and types of boxes. Most are wood boxes with various paper coverings and designs. The smaller boxes are best for ukuleles as they are easier to hold and play. I can make a cigar box guitar out of them but they are small and have a slightly more trebly tone.
The vintage cardboard boxes have a more muffled tone and are sometimes a bit problematic due to their age. They hold up well once they are reinforced on the inside. Often the paper is loose and peeling off due to their age.
Probably the most requested box I have is the PUNCH boxes in black, they have a cool logo and look cool on stage. Other poplar boxes are the Cohiba (makes a good Dobro style tone), the Partagas and the Ashton and Padron boxes.
Keep in mind that each guitar has its own unique sound, no two are alike. A Cohiba usually has a Dobro type tone while the Ashton is a regular electric guitar tone although this sometimes varies.
