Yes, put them in the trash and don't look back 51 32.48%

No, those bands represent some amazing smokes. Best to hold onto them. 106 67.52%

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. :-)

I keep almost all of mine, dunno if I'll ever do anything with them....but at least I'll have them if I get inspired

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.
[Reply]

I keep mine until someone speaks up that they need some bands for a project. :-)
[Reply]

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

I voted no cause one of these days I or one of my friends will make something out of them

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.)

Chemyst :-)

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!

Chemyst :-)

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 try and keep all of mine. I have a glass vase that I throw them in. I have even kept the tubos too. Not sure why on that one.
[Reply]

Carl,I have a bucket full of cigar bands.PM me your address if you want them.
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

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

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

We don't what to know what you use them for

I'm a band saver! Even bought a nice glass jar type thing to keep them in my office. :-)
