Finally found a good use for my cigar bands

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.

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

I should start two side-by-side:

-Cigar bands
-Wine corks

Take THAT, wifey :D

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!

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!

Re: Finally found a good use for my cigar bands
 
Can we get an estimate on how many are in there now? How many you think it will take to fill up?

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

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

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

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.

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

:r

Re: Finally found a good use for my cigar bands
 
different sizes bands, different weight in paper. That won't work :)

Re: Finally found a good use for my cigar bands
 
I have a Planter's Peanut container full of bands it was 291.... So you can guess from there.

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

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...

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).

Re: Finally found a good use for my cigar bands
 
I throw all my old bands in an empty cigar box.

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

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

ValorBali41 07-12-2010 07:21 PM

Re: Finally found a good use for my cigar bands
 
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!!!
