You should see the pile of empty cigar boxes I have sitting my garage and at my work table. There are tons of places here to by cigars so I just ask for the empty ones and normally I just have to pay $1 or $2. It's lots of fun and I make pretty good money from them - though I have the hardest time charging people I know more than like $45 for one. Otherwise I sell them places around town for like $90 and I've had them in silent auctions and one has gone for $400! Right now I'm in the process of designing leather handbags that are getting made at a factory in China - the prototypes should be coming back to me soon and I can't wait to see them!! Definitely show your sister and encourage her to get out there and sell her stuff!
