This is outstanding. I believe it falls within the rules of this forum here, since it's surely cigar related.
The history of cigar box guitars is incredible too.

Lightnin Hopkins said:
"So I went ahead and made me a guitar. I got me a cigar box, I cut me a round hole in the middle of it, take me a little piece of plank, nailed it onto that cigar box, and I got me some screen wire and I made me a bridge back there and raised it up high enough that it would sound inside that little box, and got me a tune out of it. I kept my tune and I played from then on."
(from Guitar Player Magazine)





Now theres a resurgence in this primitive instrument. I'm thinking about making a few myself.
