I can't remember where I got the boxes...but beware of the little piece of elastic 'string' on the insert that holds the pen, especially if it's tight (like it is on a cigar)...and especially on lacquer finishes...and especially if you have 10 or 15 in a larger box that you carry around in your truck in the summetime.
For those that haven't figured it out, the elastic string WILL leave a mark in the finish. And most of these have 'cured' since about January. Heat is not our friend.
I also notice that a couple Sierras made with stabilized dyed BEB appear to have 'faded' considerably while in the same carry box. Both of these were in the plastic boxes with a cardboard sleeve (and inside the bigger box). No direct sunlight...but there's no question that the colors have faded, and taken on a distinctly 'smokiness'.
