Does anyone collect cigar paraphenalia? Old cigar bands? Boxes? Or anything else interesting?

Not necessarily old stuff, but at the beginning of this year, I started keeping every band from every cigar I smoke. At some point, I'll sift through picking out my favorite ones and turn into the top of a coffee table or some type of wall art.

Man cave has to look good, no?

A few vintage ashtrays here. Pick one up whenever I see an interesting one that catches my eye, especially ones from old school restaurants, casinos, etc...

I seem to have a large array of boxes lying around. My wife wants me to get rid of them. Crazy woman.:td

I collect bands (of course), ashtrays (new and old), and looking into older boxes (or just cool looking boxes) for a corner cabinet I am planning on building. Its going to hold my two winodors amd all my "collectables". I'm always on the look out for some cigar wall art, but most I come across looks to "art deco" look and not very authentic looking...

I've been collecting bands from what I've smoked. I plan on making a poker table down the road.

A fishbowl and oversized brandy glass full of bands :)

Also line up empty tubes and cool looking boxes on my dresser as decorations... looks kinda cool

I also collect my bands in a pretzel jar. Along with my empty boxes and tubos. I collect lighters but I did that long before I ever smoked a cigar! And it seems lately I'm collecting tripplef's keychains!

If you ever decide to get rid of some, I would take (buy) a few off your hands! My cooler has WAY TOO MUCH plastic in it! :tu

Any time I run across anything cigar related of any real great age, I try and pick it up...sadly, its not very often...
I have picked up a few old boxes, a few box hammers, and a couple of old humidors...there is occasionally really cool things on eBay...

I have picked up a few things on Ebay as well. I am currently looking at making a CC wall hanging with some nice antique cigar postcards, envelopes and antique bands. I have the postcards, envelope and have found some old CC bands.

I always look at flea markets but haven't found too much. I've seen a couple cigar molds and some ashtrays. There are usually lots of overpriced cigar boxes, but often they are contemporary brands/styles, which don't appeal to me. I've got enough of those already.
