Cigar gift parcel box, the charm from the "outside"

     

1. Who was the first to use the cigar gift parcel box?

    

    Before we get into the different packaging of the cigar gift parcel box, let's first understand who was the first to use it. It is recorded that the first person to use cigar gift parcel box was the Upperman brothers, and when you say that, do you think of the Upperman brand of cigars? It is interesting to note that none of the cigars in this gift parcel box were Uppermann cigars, because the Uppermann brand of cigars was not yet in existence.

    

     

    The Upperman brothers were born in a financial family and were sent to Cuba by their father to open a bank branch when they were young. At that time, the cigars were just gifts to their bank customers, but during the process of giving, the cigars would more or less collide with each other, causing damage to the wrapper. To avoid this, the Upmann brothers designed a box to hold their cigars. Thus, the first cigar box was born. However, cigar boxes did not really become popular until the early 1800s. The most common cigar boxes at that time were made of solid wood nailed together with hinges and were called nail wood cigar boxes. Later, as the society and economy developed and cigar smokers continued to pursue them, various types of cigar boxes became available today.

     

     

2. What are the types of regular cigar gift parcel boxes?

    

2.1. Cardboard gift parcel boxes.

    

    The pocket-sized cardboard gift parcel box is flat, small and easy to carry. The gift parcel box has a sliding or flip-top lid and usually contains three or five cigars. At present, this kind of gift parcel box is mainly used for small and beautiful cigars, because the price of gift parcel box is cheaper, so it is very popular among cigar smokers.

    

    

2.2. Hard color paper gift parcel box.

    

    A hard color paper gift parcel box is usually a rectangular box made of cardboard or wood, with a layer of color paper around the box with information such as brand, model and number of cigars, and a security seal with a series of anti-counterfeit numbers on the seal of the box to distinguish it from the real one. The outside of the parcel box is nailed with a small nail so that the parcel box fits snugly into the lid.

    

     

    The hard color paper gift parcel box is more attractive because it is wrapped in color paper. However, the spacing between the lid and the box is small, so the lid will press directly into the cigar. If the cigar is kept for a long time, the cigar may be slightly deformed, and the cigars are stacked on top of each other, which is not conducive to the cigar smoker to observe the condition of the bottom cigar.

     

    

2.3. Gift parcel box

     

    The gift parcel box is usually square or rectangular in shape, made of Spanish cedar wood, painted or unpainted, with various logos on the surface.

    

     

    Unlike the hard color paper boxes, the slip-on wooden gift parcel box allows more space for the cigars to mellow. In addition, the cigar in the slipcase is in direct contact with the cedar wood, and the flavor of the cedar wood blends with the tobacco flavor, making the cigar taste better.

    

     

2.4. Gift parcel box

     

    The flip-top gift parcel box is not covered with promotional paper, the lid is fixed with hardware, and the front of the box has a metal clasp for cigar smokers to open. The flip-top wooden gift parcel box packaging draws on the essence of hard color paper boxes and slip-top wooden boxes to ensure full mellowing between the cigar and the cedar wood, while avoiding excessive damage to the cigar when the cigar is shaken by the cigar smoker.

    

    

2.5. Book-shaped cigar gift parcel box

     

    It is often said that there is gold in books, but did you know that there are also cigars in books?

    In the past few years, a number of cigar manufacturers have used books as inspiration for their gift parcel box designs, creating a novel book cigar gift parcel box that opens like a book.

     

     

    The book cigar gift parcel box contains a preface, title page, etc. Each page is extremely well made. Each book cigar gift parcel box is uniquely numbered and usually holds about 10 or 20 cigars, which is also very rare, valuable and expensive.

    The aged spots, yellowed paper and vintage wood colors interpret the essence of the book while providing a resting place for cigars.

    

     

2.6. Calligraphy and painting cigar gift parcel box

      

    Chinese traditional culture has a long history and shows its infinite charm, so it has become the design inspiration for many cigar manufacturers.

    In recent years, cigar manufacturers have extracted the most representative Chinese elements from the heavy traditional Chinese culture and skillfully integrated them into the design of cigar external gift parcel box packaging. This is to satisfy the consumer preference of domestic cigar smokers, and to integrate the essence of Chinese culture into the brand, creating a Chinese trend.

    Take the gift parcel box in the form of painting and calligraphy. This type of cigar gift parcel box is usually packed in a hard box with a side flap, and the outside of the box is painted with poetry and ink, showing the unique culture of Chinese high-end cigars.
