As someone who has been following Andy since last year, I'm really happy for this evolution as it's transforming the product into something that looks as good as it tastes. Sadly that does matter in this hobby. More than any of us would like to admit. I hope this change does well for him

Thank you all for your comments but as jordan said, he has been following me for a while and has seen more than alot of you. I had the same feeling about the boxes but we havent had much of a choice on the matter. there ARE box factories that would make boxes for us but apparently they want us to buy 1000 boxes which we cant do.. as of now, all our stuff is made but people with their own small businesses usually within their homes. So in a way i PREFER it. As it provides more money to a lower class of the community than a big business. But as jordan mentions here, and no it doesnt offend me because this doesnt apply to just cigars... but appearance DOES matter to MANY people. And in person you can see our boxes are not as pretty as they seem in the pictures. I cant wait to see the new boxes in person as well. although painted I think they look ALOT stronger/well made. And as many people have mentioned its whats in them that counts!!!
