Default What to do with Cigar Bands?

I’m wondering what does everyone do with their bands after they smoke the cigar? Do you keep them in an extra ashtray or bowl, put them in a cigar dossier, or toss ‘em?

I save them. I have them all in a box. Eventually I'd like to incorporate them into a project but have a ways to go with collecting. I'm too lazy to do the dossier thing.

I only used to save the "important" ones. About 3 months ago, my wife cleaned out my cigar stuff pile and came up with enough bands to fill a small vase. Well, two vases later and I've got a pretty cool display of cigar bands on my cocktail table.

Glad she asked me to start saving them.

I save most of mine, but I don't really know why I save them yet. For now they are just in a couple of ziplocks in a drawer.

Save them and do little projects with them. You can even go to an arts and crafts store and buy a huge glass vase and have fun filling it up!

Tech-ninja made a poker table with a rail of cigar bands. If you ask, he may post picture of it. It is a beautiful table. He did some great craftsmanship.

Here's what I started doing with my bands....this was my before pic, havent taken the after yet because Im not done...maybe tonight ill post an update, Ive added at least 70 bands to it.

Once this end table is plastered with bands, I plan on using about 10 coats of polly to protect it. Then is back into the garage to hold my ash trays.

Keep all of mine and have a project in mind that I now have enough bands to tackle. Hoping to have it done by early next year. Need money for the holidays before I can think about a new project like this.

I plan on doing the same thing! I may do a coffee table size or maybe 2 end tables depending on what furniture I put in my lounge. Great minds stink alike.

You mean you are suppose to take them off the cigar? I thought the band was there to show you where the "sweet spot" begins.

I keep them and don't know why either. Got lots of them. Never kept beer bottle caps, though...

I put them in a ziploc bag. Sometime I might actually do something with them.

They go in a box and on day I will have a project that I can use them on... Like a nice poker table with the bands glazed in or something of the like.

I used to keep them in a drawer in the kitchen... until my wife found them. Now they are in a vase in the basement.

oh, and of course i got "you smoked all these cigars???" no honey, the guys knew I collected them and they sent them to me...
