Although they do use it for the "branding" iron

Probably Stu, their production methods would suggest they could gear up to make any size box with any branding although I'd say they'd have a minimum "production run" ($$$) and I'm not sure I could drum up that many customers!
Mind you, the Cigar Boxes would be slightly better constructed I'd say, these look stapled or nailed, so far all the Cigar Boxes I've got have been finger jointed (just look a bit better IMO) which surprises me considering they're only really a 'use once' type of deal.

I just love to look at those still working steam machines. But I quit the vid after the machine was shut down and seeing the "branding" step. Now, if you tell me the nailing is done steam powered I'll maybe have another look at it.

yeah I saw cigar boxes in an italian restaurant and boy they do put quite a lot of effort into them...

That poor old dog must have got his tail caught in a belt. I want to see the still house, there must be one close by.

Would love to read their health and safety manual.
Looks like the dog wagged his tail a bit too close to some moving parts

Doubt if you'll see that Bill, don't want no revenoo-ers payin' them a visit.
