Old fashion cigar cases, boxes. About 5x 8-10 inches. Inside is felted. 

Have handles like a perse. One says "IGUANA Hecho a Mana, Dominican Republic". Second one says "Choice Made Cigars". Third one to the right is dark and says " Aristoff". Wanting to know value. Thanks.

The cigar boxes themselves are common and can be bought at most cigar stores for about $2, when the cigars inside have been sold. What you have is an example of what an imaginitive, crafty individual can do with a common item. Besides being remade into purses, cigar boxes have also been used to make unique jewelry boxes, and even small guitars. The Choice Made Cigar box purse is listed on the internet right now for $24, although that particular example has been embellished further with paint and crystals on the outside, and fabric pockets on the inside. Your items are neither rare nor antique, but as an unusual repurposed object, could be sold quickly for about $10, or offered at $15 or more if you're not in need of a fast sale.

P.S. Hecho a mano is Spanish for made by hand vs. a lower quality machine made cigar.
