cozy, box of Voltigeurs = a box of cigars with the French brand name Voltigeurs http://www.etsy.com/listing/112834898/christmas-sale-vintage-french-cigar-box

The original Voltigeurs were a French military unit. At a complete guess here, I guess the speaker means a box of matches. Matches = soldiers (because of their arrangement in the box) = Voltigeurs. The only other option is that "Voltigeur" is a brand name.
