Inspection & Wear

The M249 Cigar Box (finish: sp_moro_carving_burnt) is a rare spray-paint skin from the 2021 Mirage Collection. It features a full-body brown and purple vine and flower pattern, evoking an old wooden box mixed with leather luggage — a perfect fit for Mirage's travel-hub vibe. The official tagline, "What'd they put in there?", adds a playful narrative touch.

Wear ranges from 0.0 to 0.5. High float values dull the purple layers, so Factory New and Minimal Wear generally preserve the vine outlines best. Always inspect in-game: rotate the model to check that the pattern on the handguard and barrel sides remains连贯.

Is It Worth Buying?

M249 is a niche weapon, so this skin is more of a Mirage collection piece than a practical necessity. For collectors, it completes the Mirage set. For practical buyers, mid-float examples with vibrant purple and clean brown often offer better value than chasing low floats. Compare纪念包 expected value with C5GAME and Steam market prices to avoid overpaying.

Expert's Corner

When inspecting, focus on vine breaks and color smudges — these two flaws most affect the Cigar Box's storybook feel. If the pattern is连贯 and the colors pop, it's a solid pickup. Otherwise, wait for a better float or a price drop.

Verdict: A niche but charming skin for Mirage enthusiasts. Buy if you love the theme and find a clean pattern; otherwise, it's a pass.

Note: This skin was released on September 21, 2021, alongside Operation Riptide. It can also drop from various Mirage souvenir packages (Stockholm 2021, Antwerp 2022, Rio 2022, Paris 2023, Copenhagen 2024, Shanghai 2024, Austin 2025, Budapest 2025).
