My artistic friend does a lot of crafts using cigar bands, including
tabletops, trays, lazy susans, cigar boxes, etc. She even made
a poker chip holder covered in cigar labels for me.

Problem is, she's run out of the labels I've given her & the ones
that some of you other generous Inmates previously shared.

Does anyone else out there have a bunch of labels you're not
planning to use for anything? I don't want these for me, but
to help out a friend. I expect nothing but cigar bands to be
sent. I MEAN it. I'll even send $$ to cover postage.

I'd greatly appreciate all the help you can give on this.
If you can help out by sending some cigar bands for her,
please PM me for address info.

Thanks for reading. :tu

I've gotten one positive response (Thank you, T.G!),
but I could really use a few more people to help out.
Anyone?

Don't make me post those embarrassing pictures I
have of you sitting at your computer, I'll do it! :ss

Seriously, though, I'd greatly appreciate any cigar
bands you might have laying around & can send.

Heartfelt thanks to Pnoon & EmjaySmash!
You too, Bobarian - PM coming your way.

If anyone else can chip in, you'll make an
artist-girl very happy (not me, my friend).

If anyone is still feeling generous, I need these bands as I collect them to keep track of everything I smoked. Well, and the collection just looks cool :D I managed to misplace these.

Please, no cigars, and I will send a prepaid envelope.

Regardless, glad you got what you needed, smokin5. Lots of great people around here.

An assortment of bands from the 1960's-1980's from Europe,
including Spain, Belgium, Germany, Holland & other countries.

Thank You Very Much!!
These will make a fine addition to the various
pieces Big Linda will make - & likely top billing.

I am looking to make a piece of art myself if anyone would be interested in helping me out also. I would like to cover my coffee table in my smoking room.
Let me know if your'e interested and ill cover cost also to ship. Thanks again.

I received a nice custom handwritten thank you card from Linda the other day, Eric. :tu

Yeah, she's one classy dame.
Why she's friends with the Queen B!tch & me
is her one major shortcoming.

No pics tonight, as it was COWboys (Cigars On Wednesdays)
night & I was otherwise drinking...I mean occupied....
But Big Thanks to EmjaySmash, who sent a big envelope
full of more cigar bands. The goodies have been passed
on, & will soon emerge in artistic form. Muchas Gracias!!:tu

I received jechelman's contribution Friday -
Not one, but two gallon bags of cigar bands!
http://i46.tinypic.com/5lucg4.jpg

I think this makes you a bandicoot?

And, like many bands, these had a few 'groupies' tagging along
http://i49.tinypic.com/xu4k5.jpg

Appears to be:
Dunhill Corona
Bolivar Royal Corona
Montecristo No.4

Wow! Thank you Very Much, jechelman!!:banger
A most impressive bomb blast.

Perfect timing, as my friend said she was almost out of bands already.
I'll try to snap a few pics of what objects she's done lately & report.

I'm glad she can use the bands. Enjoy the smokes.
