What do you do with your cigar bands?

[Ford2112]

I was planning on making some sort of display board or some sort of display. I was wondering what some of you have done with your bands? I wish i had some classic old bands.

I smoke them. Premium cigar= more bands. More bands= more flavor. Obviously. 

 

On a serious note: I used to have a journal where I'd keep them, but now I just tend to toss them.

Too much snark. Not enough relevant information.

For all the review cigars I paste them in my review book. It makes for a quick visual reference to what that review is.

For cigars I smoke for enjoyment I just toss them.

I’ve made framed collages with them in the past.  Considered doing one under a glass table for some time now.

I play this game where I chuck ‘em in the ashtray, then see where in the yard they mysteriously show up months later. I swear those things have wings.

You joke about smoking through the bands but I saw a post on Reddit recently where the guy actually does it.

Bonus points if they end up in the neighbor’s yard. Triple score if it’s a Cohiba band.

With the right straw, they make great spitballs!

On another note, I just found out that their a spitball world championship, in England.

[Chibearsv]

Got this as a gift for Christmas. Kind of cool. I expect to stuff it full pretty quickly.

My wife made this serving tray with the bands under glass.

If you send me the cigars with the bands on I can smoke the cigars to verify the serving trays my wife makes are not fake 😂

I have an old wooden Pommery magnum sized champagne box. I had a piece of glass cut to size for the front (it came with a sliding wood piece when we bought it). Drilled a hole in the top and I add the cigar bands to it. A little while to go until it is full…
