Ummm... There are more cigar boxes today than there ever has been.
I don't even have a clue as to the purpose of your false claim. Probably the most relevant refutation of it is that cigars have nothing whatsoever to do with the concept of a wooden box, which as you note yourself, is irrelevant to making a Tesla coil. It is all but impossible to find a route between reason and any point you could have intended to make with that statement.
You're not dumb, but that is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. I'm embarrassed for you, my friend. That being said, please keep ferreting out the truth and revealing it, as you so often do. Just have a read at what you write before hitting that post button, so that your estimable faculty of reason has opportunity to ensure what you commit to the indelible blockchain is factual.
