Other sellers have options to purchase a particular variant both with and without the branded box (which cuts the price of a dollar by two). Yes, they can be a bit weak, but they do their job. Before that, I had such a cigarette case in use, I bought self-rolled cigarettes for slim.
Since the shells (ready-made empty cigarettes for filling with tobacco) are slightly thicker than commercial excise cigarettes, 18 pieces are placed in a cigarette case. Ali certainly has a choice, but I would not say that it is huge.
Here, the retainer plate looks more powerful. It is made in the style of an antique nautical compass with an inscription that Google translated as "sailing the world." Although in the inscription, it seems to me, there is a spelling error (it should be sailing to the world, not saillng to the world). Inside there is also a couple of pieces of paper with the name of the site and, so to speak, a “certificate”. But with the picture I needed, I found on Ali only an option with branded packaging. In general, the cigarette case is packed in a soft fabric (something like satin) and a black box made of thick cardboard under the "guipai" brand.
Settled on "retro-vintage-copper-brass-alloy container". In addition, there is a drawing on the opposite side of the cigarette case, it is made in the style of a “shabby old map”. But there is a latch thick as a paper clip and it just broke. After the transition to the so-called homemade cigarettes, a cigarette case was needed so that there was somewhere to carry them. A drawing from the selection provided by Ali chose in the marine theme.
As a result, I am satisfied with the cigarette case, I hope it will last a long time) If you buy for a gift, then it is a great option to take it with a box.
The drawing, as I understand it, was not made by an engraver, but was embossed (this is a plus) and seemed to be varnished. Looks "expensive-rich". The rest is whole.

Metal cigarette case for 20 cigarettes

There are three sizes of different capacity (not in this particular lot, but in other offers) – for 20 cigarettes, for 10 (12slim) and for 16.
In the comments there are reviews that the clamps are weak. Otherwise, I think they would squeeze the cigarettes a lot. I have 20 standard cigarettes.
There are also other options (from other sellers) https://jiji.com.et/car-parts-and-accessories/vibe with a Harley motorcycle, with a portrait of Che Guevara, with an American commander, with army fur seals USA, the theme of the film "Konstantin", with whiskey Jack Daniels, with the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, with a Chinese theme and with all sorts of patterns. If it’s for yourself, then it’s better to save money and buy without
In most other versions of the cigarette case, the pattern is only one-sided (the exception seems to be only with patterns) And after a little more than six months, a button flew off in it. On the sides we observe "antique wear".
Personally, the opening-closing button, or rather its latch, does not really give me rest. This feature should be considered when buying.
