I ran into those vases at a discount shop today, bought 2 of them, now I have to smoke a lot to fill those puppies up.

[Volusianator]

Very cool

[waffle]

Lol perfect idea, its like our wine cork vase! But this will be infinitely more gooder ;)

[stewshi]

Very nice I've been saving my bands also maybe ill adopt your idea

[kelmac07]

I throw mine in a Viaje Exclusivo "Pickle Jar". :tu

[Don Fernando]

I throw mine in the trash. :r

yeah, but you're just mean!

[Darrell]

yeah, but you're just mean!

:r :r :r

Irrelevant! :D

[chachee52]

Been saving mine up to do the same thing, more of a fish bowl, but same idea!!!

[SigEpGF]

I should start two side-by-side:

-Cigar bands
-Wine corks

Take THAT, wifey :D

[thebayratt]

I like that vase!
I have a glass boot we put our wine corks in. I put my bands in a plastic Peanut jar. Nothing fancy, but keeps them safe n sound!

[sikk50]

I've been putting mine in a vase for a while now, my roommates liked the look of it so much theyasked me to put it in the living room!

[jonumberone]

Can we get an estimate on how many are in there now? How many you think it will take to fill up?

Lol! Id say that, but wifey fills the wine corks one all by her lonesome!

[Footbag]

Same thing I do with mine. But you're going to need a larger vase.

[Smokin Gator]

LOL... I have mine in a plastic grocery bag... Your's definitely has more class, but mine fits me as well!!!

[dunng]

:tu

I wonder if my wife will go for that in the livingroom... :hm

[E-Tx Surveyor]

That's really cool. Mine are in a cigar bag, very boring.

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to count them.

[Skywalker]

Sweet!!!:tu

[bsmokin]

Pretty cool... but my wife would never go for it. :(

[stearns]

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to count them.

Awesome lol... When I first started smoking, I would put the cigar bands in my wallet. Well that didn't last too long lol.

[Stinky]

Saving mine for a photo-mosaic. Still looking for a "prize winning" photo. Probably a self-portrait! :) You know. . . me smoking a fine cigar with my buds!

Photo-Mosaic:
Each cigar band will be a color pixel in a large format poster (4' x 6' size)! Anyone have the time to scan my 10-gallon fish tank full of bands? (12 years worth!!) Also need a program to map all the images into a color pixel layout.

[Stinky]

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to count them.

Just count 100 and weigh them! Then weigh the rest. . . simple estimating math.

:r

[Don Fernando]

different sizes bands, different weight in paper. That won't work :)

[thebayratt]

I have a Planter's Peanut container full of bands it was 291.... So you can guess from there.

[darkninja67]

Make a collage of them in a picture frame. It comes out very nice IMO.

[Azaelius]

Ah! I was just thinking about what to do with my bands lately. This is a good idea,and I saw some really great ones at Target earlier... hmmm...

[ama]

Goodluck!

[ProBe]

Very cool idea.

[KenyanSandBoa]

Nice...that will look sweet once that bad boy is filled. :tu I keep mine in an Oliva V box from the first box split I ever did...memories (tear).

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

I throw all my old bands in an empty cigar box.

[Samsquanch]

Hmm, I have a spare Red Hook growler somewhere, I like this idea!

[Apoco]

I have all of mine tossed in my first ever box purchase - A Fuente Hemingway Classico :)

[ValorBali41]

I had the same Idea, so I saved all my bands in an Olivia Serie V box. Gonna put mine in laminate underneath a glass table!!!

[Don Fernando]

Nice...that will look sweet once that bad boy is filled. :tu

I posted the first picture on my dutch cigar forum and someone send me a box full of bands which almost filled the vase.

Now you really need to count them! :r

[Swany]

Who said you need to put stinkin flowers in a vase. HA. Great ideas. I'm saving mine to make a collage on my trevel-dor.
