I put my bands in a empty bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel that i took the labels off . Looks real cool and a great conversation piece.

I have so many. Originally I was thinking to collect enough of them, so I can hire somebody to build me a nice big humidor covered with all this labels in a nice kind of design way. But now I am not so sure. Will see...

i save all of my bands as well.

I just thought itd be cool to put them in a book one day.

I use all the extra labels I have and put them in the front and back cover of my dossier, like a collage.

I would be curious to see a picture of anyone's collection. It's be cool to see some of the different styles of bands.

I was wondering how many people actually did this. A couple months ago I decided to start keeping the bands of different types of cigars that I smoked. I guess a reminder or "road map" of what cigars I have smoked and where I have been. To my surprise I am starting to accumulate pretty quickly. I am still debating on how I want to display them...in a book or in a frame, not sure yet. Any ideas?

i have every I have every smoked since 1964, which includes over 400 opus X's, of all sizes.

I have about 200 cigar bands that I've collected (all that I have smoked) but I never get around to doing anything with them. I have them all stored between the pages of a big book so they can get pressed. I'd like to display them in shadow boxes but I'm too lazy to do it. I will have to put all of my C.A.O. bands in one seperate shadow box, and my Opus X bands in another separate shadow box. All the others can all go together.

When I have them all out it's kind of looking at a family reunion. I tell myself, "I loved that one," or "That one was really difficult to light," and so on. But I have a unique relationship with each cigar and cigar band good and bad. I must say that the most attractive bands have to be: Opus X, La Aroma de Cuba, Gurkha, Padilla Miami, C.A.O. Soprano, C.A.O. CX2, Gran Habano, and Diablo.

I am starting to save mine. I plan on taking a terracotta tray, the ones that you put under a planter pot to catch any water, and make a cigar band ashtray. I will wait until I get enough, then lay them out and seal them to the tray. Shazaam, homemade band ashtray of all the cigars I have smoked to that point.

I keep every single band from every cigar that I smoke in a big glasss jar.
There is at least 300+ bands in the thing. It looks like I have a slight cigar problem.

I use to paste my bands to a piece of felt and put them in a custom made picture frame. Now I have a vase that I put all my bands in.

Hrm, I have never displayed mine, I just keep mine in a empty cigar box, but now i have no idea how to lay them out, make my own picture? Or in Order! this shall be tough!

i like to tape them onto lighters, espeacialy bic lighters, get some clear tape and match the colors and it looks real good. i have a bunch of bic lgihters with dutch master bands on them...dont smoek the dutch masters....well kinda lol nuff said. but yea it looks good

i keep all of my cohiba, montecristo, CAO, CAO Soprano's, Camacho, and Avo Xo/Uvezian bands, all the others, i throw away

Every Dolphins Football game I watch (and I watch them all) I put the score and date on the back of the band. If it was smoked with someone or at a B-Day, Drag Race etc, I will put that info and date on the back of the band. I sometimes rate the ceegar on a 10 scale as well. Keep them all in a Cohiba Box and Acid Tin.

I put all first time bands in a book and review them for future reference. All the rest I reglue and store them in gallon mayo jars for display around my smoking room on shelves between my cigar art.

I've never kept my bands before, but it would be cool to display them. Maybe cigars I did like in one jar and ones I did'nt in another.
