A term for cigars purchased in a wooden(Spanish-Cedar) box (sometimes packed in amounts of between 20-50, but usually 25's or 50's, rarely in amounts of under 15, although Trinidad Robusto Extras and Reyes are both available in cabinets of 12). Often, cigars purchased this way are for aging(maturing).
Singles, 3's or 5's are generally packaged in cardboard or paper boxes, and the individual cigars come wrapped in a cellophane sleeve. In Cuban cigars, however, only the machine-made "models" come in cellophane.
Cabinet selection cigars come packaged without cellophane, and (especially when purchased in 50's) often come in the wooden box tied together with a silk ribbon with the maker's name and the cigar 'model' stated on the silk ribbon. Sometimes they come without cigar bands (occasionally referred to as "naked").
A third way of packaging cigars in a box, is usually referred to as 'Box-Pressed'
