First Look: Merlion Box [CONTEST!]
Coming up with a cigar blend is only a small part of the equation. Sure it is the most important part but so much more goes into a cigar release. There is the band, the advertising campaign and even the box. Here is the first look of the new boxes for the Merlion set to be released the end of July.
Leave a comment to win a 3 pack of Merlion cigars, when they arrive from the factory! Contest closes 9:00am July 5th. Eastern TIme.

UPDATE: Congrats to Paul Smith for winning the contest. He has been notified and when the cigars arrive in about 2 weeks we will send him a prize pack.
Uniquely lovely.
Really good-looking packaging. A home run, I think.
Very nautical (as it should be) and very cool. I saw the actual band on the ‘net somewhere (i know its on the box also) and it’s impressive. Good work and good luck with it.
Can’t wait to try these babies! Thanks for the contest!!!
Great looking box. Looking forward to trying the Merlion.
Very cool. Thanks Barry for giving someone an early opportunity to try these!
Nice, like thee nautical theme. Thanks for the contest!
My wife loves purple and snags any and every don’t related box or swag I come across. Side benefit is I don’t anywhere near the greif for spending my paycheck on cigar #winning! Looking forward to the release and meeting you at the #CHAtweetup2012 Barry.
Very cool looking box, it’s an eye catcher. Nice work.
It looks like a box a lady would buy for her man. It attracts a certain clientele.can’t wait to see what’s inside.
Amazing! Love the Purple & White! Creative combination of both celestial & nautical themes & morphing of the Lion & Mermaid.
Thank is a very cool looking box! Hell the box alone would entice me to buy the cigars inside it!
Great looking box. Loved the La Sirena, can’t wait to try out this cigar. Great job.
Packaging looks great. Hope I can win a sampler!
Nice box! Can’t wait to try the cigar.
Interesting box can’t wait to sample it.
I have came to believe that not only the way a cigar looks,the appearance has to complemant the cigar.Because if their is heart in the appearance then their is heart in the cigar,I believe u have a winner
Hmm…. Great design…. Not so sure about the color.
I am curious to your thoughts about the color
That is an amazing looking box. We have been looking forward to trying – and blogging about! the new Merlion for a while now.
That is a very different looking cigar box, thanks for the contest.
Great box. Captures all the qualities of La Sirena and Merlion in it.
Very nice…and of course purple.
Look at all we dummies leaving comments just to get some free cigars!!!
What us Mooch?
Looks awesome! Nice way to integrate in that antique nautical feel. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Nice cigar box , hope my cigar shop gets these in soon
Looking good! I especially like the Merlion logo.
Nice cigar box
This is a very sexy box!! Love the Merlion symbol!! Very cool!
I love the traditional look and this box walks past boring but not into the obscenely gimmicky. I like it.
As mythical as its theronym.
*Not a contest entry!*
What does the vista look like? I’m just wondering how it will present on the tobacconist’s shelf with the lid open? The box is very cool otherwise, if the inside of the lid pops as much as the outside it’s a winner!
Tasteful art. Can’t wait to try the cigar!
That is one cool looking box!!
Nice looking box. I’m not one who goes for flashy packaging.
love the packaging…white box makes it stand out among all the wood grained/colored boxes…purple very nautical and regal..the Merlion and the map with the cardinal directions are true to the La Sirena mantra…how could you go wrong?
Looks like a treasure chest full of goodies! I’m big a fan of cigar boxes that double as functional desk art once empty. Nice job!
Will have to try one!
Can’t wait to try it! Will the band be as intricate as La Sirena?
That box is really incredible. I hope the cigar is eaqually impressive. Can’t wait to see the review for them.
Wow…. Looks the box looks like the work of an 18th century cartographer. I can’t wait to taste whats inside….
That box design looks awesome, I look forward to trying the cigars inside!
If the cigar is half as cool as the box, I’ll be looking for these!
That looks awesome. One of my top 10 favorite boxes.
That box looks great, I’d buy a box simply to add that to my collection.
Me encanta!! Really nice box!
Looking forward to trying these out!
That is a sexy looking box. I’d be sure to find another use for it once I’d finished the smokes!
I would love this … not to mention the sexy cigars that im sure are in there
I love the color. My boyfriend thinks it looks pretty slick too. It is very different from anything else on the shelves, I think it will really stand out and get people’s attention.
the box looks like it was made for christopher columbus
Love the design. Crisp, simple, and elegant.
Looks like a magical artifact. At least its unique
sickkk
Beautiful box
Cool looking box. Really enjoy the La Sirena. Looking forward to trying the Merlion.
