Throwing away the bands
 
I'm moving and have a bucket or two of old bands.

Do I move them with me and continue to look at them getting dusty in a bucket or do I just chuck 'em and look at the event as moving on to the next phase in my life?

If you don't want them see if a local B&M would want them.

I voted no... I hang on to most of them telling myself I am going to make something out of them. I don't want to be the only one with the problem!!!

I voted yes but I am sure somebody on this site has some use for them.

If it's a new cigar to me and doesn't suck, I keep the band.

EDIT: Sorry, thought you were asking what we do with them...

Finally got started tonight making some cigar band "art" to put up on the wall in my office.
I have a hard time even when someone else throws the band away.

I couldn't vote in your survey because there wasn't a category for me.
I hold onto my bands until someone here asks for them to do a project of some sort - then I ship 'em out for a noble purpose.:)

I keep the bands. However if I already have a tone of them they go in the bin. Eg CAO MX2 bands :D

If you decide to get rid of them, burn them in a fire. That's more dignified than just tossing them in the trash.

Keep them, if you change your mind in the future you can toss them. But if you toss them now, you can never get them back. :2

Send them to Huy I have his address.

Keep them. Eventually you will want to make something and then you will miss not having them.

Re: Throwing away the bands
 
I voted keep them. Did you have a use for them in mind when you started keeping them?

If i'm about five drinks into the night and someone gives a cigar I will hold onto it if I liked it and want to remind myself what it is, otherwise I chuck'em.

I say keep them, because you never know when you are going to think of a way to use them.

Re: Throwing away the bands
 
I keep all of my bands. I've seen some great projects, using cigar bands over the past few years.

I don't know if I'll ever get around to creating something using them, but I figure that if I toss them, it'll take forever to replace them. :D

If they get that much in the way, I can toss them then.

It's the same reason I keep all of my empty cigar boxes. :tu

:dance:

I've thought about keeping them, but they almost always end up in my ashtray or straight in the bin.

Re: Throwing away the bands
 
I didn't vote because I've been in both camps so often. I go through spells where I keep every band, good or bad, and then I go through cleaning spells where everthing gets pitched.

Not much of a help.... sorry. :r
