Cigar bands

[mcroom]

Do any of you keep the bands off of new sticks you have tried? I have been keeping them since day one. My plan was to glue them onto a plain 20 count box but now I have so many that I don't know how to keep the memorabilia. Any ideas?

Several. There are threads here with coasters for yer drinks, travel mugs for yer coffee, travel humidors for yer cigars, sendthem to Wade for some cigarnaments for next Christmas tree,...

i keep them and write a few words about the stick on it and just toss them in a ziplock bag. i have no idea what i'll end up doing with them. i imagine my chick will end up throwing them away someday because it looks like a little bag of garbage.

could slap them onto some cheap cigars and start peddling knock-offs....

Alot of bands go on my locker at the F.D. when you open it up all the fronts of shelves and inside of door are bands. Helpes dress it up.

This was from my first year of experimenting. Smoked a lot of crap to make this. :crosseyed

Just an idea.

I keep them and put them in a photo album. In the order that I had tried them. I've filled quite a few pages.

bro so many of us guys have just bags and bags full of bands. We all swear we are going to do something with them, and of coarse, we never do and the collection just increases.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a little project I've been saving my bands for. I'll have pictures soon.

Some of us do stuff with them.

You guys just gave me a good idea for the cabinet my mom gave me. I was going to make a humi out of it anyway but why not cover it with bands. Thanks guys.

Wow Wade! Pretty cool stuff bro! We have a coffee table that has my name all over it. Got a good stock now, but think I will have enough to cover the top by end of summer. Do you all glue then use glass top? Is there some sealer that would be good to protect?

Nice pic's Chuck and Wade. I have been saving most of my bands for a about a year now. Not sure what I am going to do, but now I have some good ideas. Thanks brothers.

Do whatever you heart desires with them. I have made coasters and a travel mug. I also keep a band from each different cigar in a photoalbum. I have mine grouped by company though. If there are four or more they have their own page.

Well here is what I did. My daughter bought me a "humidor Kit" at the craft store one day. I got if for X-mas a while back. Of course it would never be a humi, but i may as well use it for accessories. I stained the pieced and then assembled it. Then I figure i can paste anll my bands on it. It';s been a work in progress for some time now. I have a few spot i would like to fill in/cover up, but it's almost done.

That was for a guy on Cigar Family who has a bit of a nubbing reputation, it was fun to make and funny to give.


I use Mod Podge glue to hold the bands down, then a two part bar cote epoxy to seal it all in. I think it's called System Three.
