Cabinet selection is a term for cigars purchased in a large, square, plain (Spanish-Cedar) cigar box that is called a cabinet box, a slide-lid box or SLB, or simply a cabinet). It usually has a wooden slide-lid, although occasionally hinged lids are seen. The cigars are usually packed in amounts of between 20 and 50, but usually 25s or 50s (rarely in amounts of under 15, although Trinidad Robusto Extras and Reyes are both available in cabinets of 12).
Singles, 3s or 5s are generally packaged in cardboard or paper boxes, and the individual cigars come wrapped in a cellophane sleeve. In Cuban cigars, however, only the machine-made "models" come in cellophane.
Cabinet selection cigars generally come packaged without cellophane, and (especially when purchased in 50s) often come in the wooden box tied together in a 'Bundle' with a silk ribbon with the maker's name and the cigar 'model' stated on the silk ribbon. Sometimes they come without cigar bands (occasionally referred to as "naked").
Often, cigars purchased this way are for aging (maturing).

His media criticism has included Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (1988), co-written with Edward S. Herman, an analysis articulating the propaganda model theory for examining the media.
According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index in 1992, Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992, and was the eighth most cited source overall. Chomsky is the author of over 100 books. He is credited as the creator or co-creator of the Chomsky hierarchy, the universal grammar theory, and the Chomsky–Schützenberger theorem.
