I voted for keeping them

I keep mine. I have a journal type book and I glue them in it with a glue stick. Kind of keeps a history of what i have smoked.

Then again I am still pretty n00by. Who knows how long the journal will last.

Send them to Smokin Gator, as he is going to make something with them.

They usually sit on a table or in my pocket for awhile before I finally throw my bands away. I have good intentions of keeping them, but it doesn't happen. After reading this thread though, I think I will start saving them in case someone wants them.

That being said, I voted for you to keep them.

I keep mine until someone speaks up that they need some bands for a project.

I voted no because most of the time I don't keep them unless it's something special.

If I kept everthing that 'I might someday find a use for', I'd be living in a junk heap. Why not just post a thread asking if anybody wants 'em (though I suspect this thread might become that ), and ship them to a good home. If there are no takers, then pitch 'em. You can always get more!

I think I'm going to save them and eventually go through them and pick out 'the good ones' to do something with. Thanks for the ideas.

When I first started smoking 'gars I saved them and wrote a short
note about how I liked/disliked the cigar on the back. Now that I
know what I like, I chuck 'em. The golf course maint. crew has
mulched up quite a few. I saved the band from the first OpusX I ever
smoked stashed in a place that I see regularly, and where it won't
be disturbed.(It's in my briefcase in a clear plastic pocket intended
for business cards, but I don't need business cards for my work.)

I did find a use for a couple of the old, empty boxes
accumulating dust in the corner.

I bought a couple of bundles of RP X-outs "C"s from CI/Cbid
and put them in two of the old cedar boxes for aging.
Hopefully in a year they will taste nearly identical to OWRs.
(only 6 mos. more to go, now)

Mmmm...mmmm...goood!

Send them to me I'm finally making my cigar band art piece, in fact anyone that wants to part with theirs I'll take them. That being said, I almost cried when I added up the value of all those smokes, could have paid for my car in cash, but then again there are many great memories associated with those that I wouldn't trade.

I toss 'em now except for a few rare ones or ones I like the look off. I saved up some at one point and had my sister make me a book mark out of them. I use it all the time.

My mother used to save my father's cigar tubos. She stored buttons and other sewing supplies in them.

I'm keeping all the tubos, something about those I can't toss. Especially the classy looking Davidoff ones.
