I never smoked cigars but I bought a bunch of wooden cigar boxes on eBay for cheap. Usually keep closed with labels on the top.

I was going to go with that and spent frustrated hours searching for that perfect, tooled wood or leather, wooden box. I was in the attic a few days later and this appealed to me. I have no idea when/where I picked it up....might have been something pops had. If I don't quit buying and trying soon I'm going to have to work on plan B....maybe a flat-top box with drawers to put underneath the present one.
