I found a BEM cigar box, it was made in Maine. It has a tax stamp on it and everything! It says "hand made" on it, not sure if this means the cigars were hand made or if the box was hand made. I would love to know if it has any value or any info u have to offer!

Hand made probably refers to the cigars. Any info on it as to whether they might have been made in Cuba or not? If you do a google search on "cigar box collectors" (the quotes are mine, you don't need them for google), you would probably find a lot of info there. Some people just collect the box labels. Also some arts/crafts types use old cigar box to make purses, "treasure chests", various items. If you have a good tobacco store in your area - some even specialize in cigars - you might show it to them and see if they could identify it as to age etc. This isn't much info for you, but might be a starting point. Welcome aboard!
