Many of the decorated cigar boxes in my shop are sample designs. Your box will be handcrafted after purchase using the same paper collection, theme, and level of detail shown.
Each box is one of a kind and may vary slightly from the sample. Completion time is typically 2 weeks before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you ship your products?

A: I ship to all 50 U.S. states, as well as Puerto Rico and Guam.

Care instructions

To keep your box looking its best:
• Avoid placing it in direct sunlight (which may fade the paper)
• Keep it out of humid areas like bathrooms
I use high-quality, archival scrapbook paper that’s made to last for years, but gentle care will help it stay beautiful longer.

Sizing details

The box size I use depends on the paper design. Most designs are made using 12x12” paper, but smaller prints (6x6” or 8x8”) require smaller boxes. If you’d like a different size than shown in the listing, just message me—I’ll let you know what’s possible and do my best to make it happen.

Why does my custom box take up to 3 weeks to complete?

A: A custom box takes extra time because I carefully plan the design with your preferences in mind. I may need to order special embellishments or supplies to make it truly unique. Your input is always welcome!
🛑 Holiday note: The deadline to order a custom box for Christmas delivery is November 1st.

Will my Decorated Cigar Box smell like cigars?

All boxes are thoroughly aired out before decorating to ensure there’s no residual odor. I also clean and line each one with care. All work is done in a smoke-free studio, and your box will arrive fresh and ready to enjoy.
I only use clean, undamaged cigar boxes that are free of odor.

Custom and personalized orders

While there’s no “Custom Order” button in my shop (during the Holiday season), most listings can be personalized. I work with beautiful papers from:
• Graphic 45
• Stamperia
• Blue Fern Studios
• Ciao Bella
• Mintay
If you see a collection you love (after Nov 1st), send me a message. I’d love to create something just for you.

How do you prepare and package my order?

Each decorated box is thoughtfully wrapped to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully:
• First, I wrap your box in two layers of soft tissue paper for a gentle protective layer.
• Next, it’s wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap to cushion it securely during transit.
• I then tie it with a coordinating ribbon, not only for a charming presentation but also to make it easy to lift the box from the shipping carton—just pull the ribbon.
Your order is then placed in a sturdy box and shipped with care. I take pride in every detail, so your unboxing experience is as delightful as the keepsake inside.

🐾 Meet the Shop Assistants~Skittles & Tucker

My two feline shop assistants like to supervise from a distance—but don’t worry, I have a strict paws-off policy! They never come into contact with materials or products. All boxes are created and stored in a clean, smoke-free studio, and your order will arrive fresh, odor-free, and beautifully wrapped.

Do the boxes have flaws?

All of my keepsake boxes are authentic upcycled cigar boxes. I carefully select the best ones to decorate, and most surfaces are covered with premium papers, trims, and embellishments. For my Camacho “piano finish” boxes, the glossy black lids may show faint surface scratches from their original life — these are minor and add to the authentic character of the box.

The box is amazing. It's better than I expected. Kudos to Linda. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer.
