Seen em yesterday in the guitar centre on exchequer street! Must say they look pretty amazing! Id love to try them, cant remember how much they are though.

Anyone ever have a go? They are called daddy mojo i think? So cool!

I'm doing the same thing. I got one in the cigar shop on the corner of grafton street (Trinity end). I can't remember the name of the shop. They gave me 2 for free, In case it doesn't turn out right the first time. I think there is a few cigar shops around town.

Sorry, Just noticed you're in Cork. If there is any cigar shops they should give you a box.

Was listening to a guy playing an oil can guitar in Templebar a couple weeks back. He made some nice music from it. I would imagine a can would be rather more robust than cardboard. The can in question was one of those old rectangle type,don't see them so much anymore.

The boxes are made from wood.
