A cigar box is a box container for cigar packaging. Traditionally cigar boxes have been made of wood, cardboard or paper. There are several types of cigar boxes, differing both in construction and purpose. The following are common boxes:^[1]

• Cabinet selection, slid-lid or hinged lid, typically storing 25 or 50 cigars
• 8-9-8, round-sided box with three layers, counting 8, 9 and 8 cigars respectively.
• Flat top or 13-topper, two layers with 12 on bottom and 13 on top
• Boxes of box-pressed cigars, stored two layers with same number of cigars.

Cigar boxes are a subject of cigar label art (cigar box art), ^[2] with businesses specializing in it and books printed. ^[3]

Cigar boxes and cigar label art are collectible items.^[4]
