My artistic friend does a lot of crafts using cigar bands, including
tabletops, trays, lazy susans, cigar boxes, etc. She even made
a poker chip holder covered in cigar labels for me.
Problem is, she's run out of the labels I've given her & the ones
that some of you other generous Inmates previously shared.
Does anyone else out there have a bunch of labels you're not
planning to use for anything? I don't want these for me, but
to help out a friend. I expect nothing but cigar bands to be
sent. I MEAN it. I'll even send $$ to cover postage.
I'd greatly appreciate all the help you can give on this.
If you can help out by sending some cigar bands for her,
please PM me for address info.
Thanks for reading.
:-)

I've gotten one positive response (Thank you, T.G!),
but I could really use a few more people to help out.
Anyone?
Don't make me post those embarrassing pictures I
have of you sitting at your computer, I'll do it!
:-)
Seriously, though, I'd greatly appreciate any cigar
bands you might have laying around & can send.

Heartfelt thanks to Pnoon & EmjaySmash!
You too, Bobarian - PM coming your way.
If anyone else can chip in, you'll make an
artist-girl very happy (not me, my friend).

Shipped out a box this morning, about 3-4 gallons worth of bands before compressing.

If anyone is still feeling generous, I need these bands as I collect them to keep track of everything I smoked. Well, and the collection just looks cool
:-) I managed to misplace these.

Please, no cigars, and I will send a prepaid envelope.
Regardless, glad you got what you needed, smokin5. Lots of great people around here.

An assortment of bands from the 1960's-1980's from Europe,
including Spain, Belgium, Germany, Holland & other countries.
Here's some close-ups (not reduced as I usually do):

Thank You Very Much!!
These will make a fine addition to the various
pieces Big Linda will make - & likely top billing.

Yeah, she's one classy dame.
Why she's friends with the Queen B!tch & me
is her one major shortcoming.
