My favorite box was the 5 Vegas Limitada 2015 belicoso in the inlaid box. Cigars were OK, but the box is special. It is heavy with an exotic look.
Mine recently developed a thin horizontal crack across the top. From the cigar.com website:
Adding to the experience is the box – a substantial, handcrafted piece created with rare and exotic hardwoods constructed by carefully selecting the most beautiful woods Central America has to offer.

Farmers painstakingly scoured the jungles & mountains of the Condega Valley in search of the most durable & dense wood in existence...the Palo de Arco, or 'Steel Stick.' Sandwiched between these beautifully-grained hardwoods is the softer, lighter-weight, almost white, Aceituna.

This collector’s piece is then finished with rich and aromatic Spanish cedar. The combination of these exotic woods makes each box one of a kind, & a great complement to this glorious cigar.

It is a handsome box. ;)
Also, wood movement is a thing, and if a piece isn't allowed to shrink as it wants this can be the result.

So at the shop we're going through all his old event stuff from years past and I saw this box and so I asked about it. Turns out it was a raffle item from an old Texas Cigar Fest. Well everyone I work with knows how I am about signed boxes and Fuentes so they said I could have it and was even nice enough to give me a few cigars. Well I looked up the cigars http://halfwheel.com/review-arturo-fuente-don-carlos-senior-blend. Then I confirmed with my coworkers that it was indeed Carlos Sr. that signed it. My goal is to have Carlito sign it as well.
