Big Linda is at it again.
She's got a new project in mind that doesn't include
cigar labels this time, but does involve cigar tubes.
If any of you have a drawer-ful of EMPTY cigar tubes,
or even just a few - whether clear or not, glass or
plastic or metal, please consider sending them to me.

Yes, I said EMPTY ones.

PM me for my address if you'd like to help out.
Thanks in advance!

PM incoming.
As far as cigar bands, she can always use more, but I see
there are a couple of other guys who've recently been asking
for these, so feel free to send the cigar bands to them.
I don't want to hog everything here.

Absolutely! I think she's using the tubes to hold items on
wall hangings & such (dried flowers, candles, small mammals,
whatever), so caps are not necessary.
PM incoming to you, too.

How many tubes do you need? Any specific quantity, we always have them laying around.

I can't say for sure, but knowing her, at least 100 total.
Once she gets started, she gets a little OCD, if ya know what I mean...

Any amount you (& anyone else) can spare will be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, Bondo 287 sent me tubes also:

Honoring my request, he didn't send any 'filled' tubes.
Instead, he sent something he knew I could use:

a Decision Spinner for Senile Seniors.

And guess who couldn't follow directions?
Yup, that's right, BigJayGee:

Observe the 2 'Empty Your Own' tubes on the right.
Guess he's telling me to blow it out my tubo!

Thank you all for your assistance.:tu

no problem Eric :tu

i didnt have time to smoke them before i could ship them. the second from right is some whiskey infused something or other i think...if its not your cup of tea feel free to chunk it. it was given to me by a co-worker...im not a fan so it has sat for a couple of months in the wineador.

Some of you asked for pix of her latest tubo creations,
so here ya go!

Glass cigar tube wall hanging with wire wrap & various
gew-gaws. And yes, a live jalapeno pepper plant in the tube.

Granite base with drilled holes, electric candle,
and tubes containing fresh thyme, mint & parsley.

I told her she can make me a menorah in a similar style.:D

Thanks again for all your generous contributions.
