A wooden box where the cigars are stacked three wide rather than a single or double layer box. Short for cabinet I suspect.

[Wigan]

ah, thank you peejay. So a box of 50, rather than 25?

[PeeJay]

No cabs come in 25s and 50s mainly for Cubans. Non Cubans have more variation, I have cabs of 20 and 24 in that category. If you see the abbreviation SLB it means single layer box.

Thanks for the clarification. Do we post of a list of abbreviation somewhere?

I fairly often have no idea what people are on about when they say what they are smoking there is so much abb.
(see what I did there? Lol)

There should be a list of abbreviations, I have asked many times so don't be afraid to do the same.

Cool, I will add a +1 to that then

Also... other variants of cabs that don't have 25 cigars include:
All Trinidads
Many weird 10ct regionals like the ERdM No.1 from Benelux
1 cigar coffins which only include the Montecristo A and Cuaba Diademas
Limited Edicion cigars like Montecristo Sublimes

10ct?
ERdM?

[butternutsquashpie]

10ct?
ERdM?

my mistake. Not Benelux - they're a Dutch regional.

our own Stephen Griff has a good blog on these. Show the presentation and everything. Stephen! Where are you!?!

Thanking you kind sir. Who do we push for a list of abbreviation sticky?

[Simon Bolivar]

SLB does meabbreviation list, great idea. If you ke Box, you know Jezza might not often be right but he' s not always wrong! TriniS also come in boxes of 12 & 24 PJ & Vergerus in time of 16!. I think the real question was the difference between a dress box & a cab? The first being paper lines, the later not. The former are often with a box pressed square cigars, the later nice & round as nature intended!

As for the abreviation idea, great! If someone has time to start it, we can all add to it as we go along, suggest the mods make it a sticky. Maybe I' all get time next week on hold.
