I've been saving cigar bands for the last 14 years....every band for every cigar. I was curious if anyone else saves bands and what you have done with them. I have several wall posters I've made and I keep a tasting notebook. (Geek)

I save them also but a friend of mines husband does some amazing artwork and furniture using them so they all end up there https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011244937354

I save bands so that I can fill a wall with posters made from them.  Might have to give one to the Herfcast...

That is totally the type of thing I had in mind for my office.

Very cool!

Needs like 16 coats of PVA to seal and level the surface.

I'm going to put them on thick matte backer and framing it tightly in a frame.  But I do like the idea of PVA.

Very nice. I love gifts like that.

Tell Rebecca I like the way she rolls.....
The second law chases us all.
In most realms, tranquility comes from ownership.
Order ensues when everyone totes their own water.  
Stand firm, and never let the bastards grind you down.  
Life's arc is primarily charted between ones ears.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Heaven is where the police are British, the lovers French, the mechanics German, the chefs Italian, and it is all organized by the Swiss.
Hell is where the police are German, the lovers Swiss, the mechanics French, the chefs British, and it is all organized by the Italians.
Be Sunny ¦ Stay Frosty.

I took a couple hundred and covered the light-bridge/cable rack over my desk in my den studio.  I used that Hodge-podge glue stuff/  One of these days I'm going to finish a guitar with cigar bands.

I keep a cigar log too which I use the bands to log cigars. I like the idea of the posters and home decor too though! 

Edit: Not sure why the picture isn't showing up, but the link is there to download it...

Forever seaching for the perfect cigar, one puff at a time.

Change the extension from jpeg to jpg.  That will probably fix it.
