Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

I only pull these out once a year at Christmas, so I forgot to mention that I also collect Fontanini Nativity Scene figurines like these

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...tanini_set.jpg

They're like Catholic action figures, I guess. :D I pick up a few pieces every year, probably have over 100 now. I also built some landscape dioramas (think model train stuff) to display them and add to that each year, too. Must have got my inspiration from my folks--when I was growing up they had a cool ceramic Nativity scene they bought in Italy. Only a few pieces in the creche, but it was probably my favorite Christmas "decoration." Just keeping the tradition alive for my own kids, who love to tinker with mine...

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Firearms -- my favorite, Books, Military memorabilia. I don't have much on the Military side of things, but that will change over time. My prize possession right now is an authentic WWI era "Knuckle-Duster" in mint condition. It is beautiful. My next addition is going to have to be a K98 Mauser with the Third Reich symbols stamped on the receiver.

I collect and restore vintage radios, tube audio equipment, and old television sets. Oh, and there's a 1962 Corvair sedan in the garage too.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

True. More representative, had you collected & wrecked trains... :D

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Guns and ammo, and more ammo.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Guns, Knives, Watches, Pipes... I try to collect cash but that hasn't been working out so well!

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

I like to collect Monte CC, Watches, and more Watches...

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Besides cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco (got a lot aging), coins, non-sports cards, poker chips (mostly obsolete), books...could you call a ton of fishing tackle a collection? It sure takes up a lot of room...:ss

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Shot glasses

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Cigar bands :D

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Dust.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Skylanders. Though "I" don't collect them. I just provide the financing for my 7 year old son.

Sh*t's expensive, too. Sometimes I look at all the figures, and convert it to so many boxes of CCE's there could be on my shelf. But the kid plays the sh*t outta that game and enjoys it immensely, so it's a fair trade.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Bodies...crap, did I say that out loud :sh

Issue 1 hit the comics racks this past Wednesday, if you want your boy to read a little bit. :D

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

I collect tools, messes, junk, bills, and bad relationships.
Fortunately the last one has tapered off. :tu

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

I made the mistake of showing him your post. Looks like I may be on the hunt for a copy sooner than later.

Amazon, brother. :D

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

I keep trying to start a whiskey collection but the bottles keep disappearing.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Memories.
I've collected a lot of different things over the years. All in the past. Now I generally get much more pleasure from getting rid of stuff than keeping stuff.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Cigar bands and key chains. Haven't bought a new key chain in quite a while though.

The wife and I started collecting fridge magnets this year from places that we visit. The kids love looking at them so that's kinda cool.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Razors. I have probably a dozen DE/SE razors that I use on rotation, and maybe another dozen straight razors that need restoration.
And shaving cream and soap. I have enough to last several lifetimes.

And I keep the bands from the cigars I smoke that I enjoy. But that's not uncommon. :)

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Rocks, Gems, and Coins!

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Fountain pens, fedoras, some baseball cards (Red Sox, of course), some signed Red Sox memorabilia, absinthiana, and the wife and I have a few antiques, though nothing really notable or pricy.

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Cool cigar junk, I got piles of the stuff :tu

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

Classic cars

65 mustang convertible
67 impala SS convertible
63 Buick Riviera

I need to fill in the even years!!!

Re: Besides cigars what do you collect?
 

It's really cool seeing the other items fellow members collect. I really like the idea of collecting experiences. I've been thinking a lot lately that we need to try to travel as much as possible in our lives. There's a whole world out here we haven't seen. We should remedy that.

I only collect a few things; cigars, liquor, small collection of firearms, new and vintage tshirts since starting my screen printing business. Nothing super interesting, but fun for me.
