I know that everyone here shares an interest in collecting cigars, but what else do you collect besides them.

For me, its beer stiens and intersting liquor bottles. . .

This bottle is unopened and still full of Jim Beam. It was from a casino that opened in Lake Tahoe before I was even born.

Beefeater Gin Yeoman, there is a cork in the top of his hat and the whole sculpture is the bottle.

Let see yours

Compulsive behavior that causes cigar collection has many predecessors! Geological specimens, including several 4 foot or longer petrified tree trunks (ironically, the bigger pieces were all dug out of the ground at my hunting club by myself and/or my son) and hundreds of petrified sharks' teeth (mostly from Boy Scout outings to a private site in south-central Alabama (close to that dreaded Auburn area!)

Knives (but I haven't added anything in several years). Stamps (been collecting since I was a child). Coins (though I've sold a substantial amount of the collection in the last year to stay ahead of bills). Any type of old hand tools that I find at reasonable prices. LPs (just added over 200 albums of 1960's artists). I don't know if I would call it a collection, but I have more than a couple of guns (I've never sold a single gun I've ever purchased - though I lost a dozen or so in a home burglary 15 years ago - All replaced with insurance).

Oh yeah....... My wife says I collect junk. I dispute that statement every time something breaks, and I'm able to rummage thru my jun.... er.... "collection" and come up with something that will fix the broken item! :-)

cufflinks & buttons. I don't collect the buttons but I do have a very large and unique collection of them.

I have found as life has gone on that collecting 5hit is bad for you. It tends to take up valuable money that you
will need to live on when you are old. Also it's a pain in the a55 to move it all. SO if you are a rolling stone like me,
you tend to clamp down on collecting. HOWEVER, there was a time when I was a kid that I would go to Mardi Gras
parades with friends or family and thus facilitated my dad in putting together a VERY nice doubloon collection. When
he died long ago, I got it all back. Wish I had the man, instead, but the doubloons represent a cherished piece
of our bond and also a ton of scrapping as anyone with a history of Mardi Gras attendance will attest to.
Most prized are the long streak of Bacchus King doubloons which are only thrown by the king's float, and are no easy
prize to bring home. If the float passed by and he was throwing to the other side of the crowd, or drinking, or waving
or falling off his chair, you got nothing. I had been known to chase that float for 4-5 blocks which is a little creepy
and dangerous in the dark night at M.G.

I have a few beer steins that he collected and a few that I added to his wealth as I grew up and travelled.

I also have a large collection of Star Wars action figures that went on sale at a salvage store near me when I was
in Mississippi. Bayratt knows what I am talkin about, haha. (Hudson's) I managed to get em for about 20 cents on
the dollar. Other than that, I am not much of a collector, except of HABANOS, yeup.

I've recently begun collecting Money. My collection is quite small, consisting mainly of One's and Five's. I am always on the lookout for Ten's, Twenty's, Fifty's and Hundred's and I will gladly take donations to help my collection grow!

Tools. I find stuff I didn't even know I had, and it's like Christmas all over again.

Nothing really. I stopped collecting knives when I bought "the one" for me. I suppose I collect cigars, except I have every intention of smoking every last one of them. When I was much younger 10-12 I collected keychains from everywhere I went. Not just states, but individual places. IE Niagara falls, and the CN tower.... I have about 50 or so. Little memories of where I went as a kid. After about 14-15 I stopped buying them, I grew up. I know where I've been.

Guns, knives, and watches, all very slippery slopes

Cigars, cheap women, and STD's.
