Not yet. I haven't seen any lots on cbid lately. Also, I'd prefer to get larger boxes, as I buy most of my smokes in robusto or toro. My local shop wants $5 a pop for them, which is just ridiculous.

I've bought an
"Empty Wooden Box Assortment" from cbid years ago, and never got "junk" or acid boxes - most were actually really heavy & decent boxes (all but one, see next paragraph). According to Steve, you are supposed to get whichever the first 10 empty boxes they grab, with no duplicates and no "super special/rare boxes" like OpusX, CAO Vision & Sopranos, Stradivarius (although I did end up with one of the numbered CAO Black MOW boxes somehow). I think I paid $7 or $9 to win the auction.
One of the boxes was a really thin box and they had put heavier boxes on top of it, so it crushed the lid in during shipping, but no BFD, since I was buying these to stuff in a cooler anyway, I just pulled the lid off and just used it as an open tray at the top of the cooler instead.
