First off, just joined in the last week or so, lovin it so far, and bought my first Friday deal today. That out of the way, now I want some help!
This was given to me a long time ago- by a family member. Used to belong to a great-grandfather. What is it called? I believe it is used to make cigars. How? I'd love to find some info, because it's old, and could be a lot of fun. It appears to have 20 slots for cigars. It is held together by two wooden pegs. Whole thing is made of wood, but I don't know what kind. I could have sworn a long time ago that it was a humidor, long before I even knew what that was. What is it really called? I want to make cigars! If you help- I'll send you some cigars that were made in it. What's a good tobacco? What's a good wrap? Where do I get either? There- that's a topic that should get some neat responses. Thanks for being such a welcoming community!

Open, you can see the two pegs that hold it shut on the piece in the back

On the one side, the number 614027 appears

On the other, it looks like a big X, and the number 24
