What do you collect?
 

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

Re: What do you collect?
 

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! :)

Re: What do you collect?
 

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

Re: What do you collect?
 

Logo pint glasses from brewpubs & microbreweries, as well as other brewing paraphernalia (bottle openers, bar towels, antique beer trays)

Re: What do you collect?
 

well, lol zippos, knives, guns, i am also a grill/smoker freak but can really put that into collection. I also am a hat guy, have tons of hats.... cant think of anything else

Re: What do you collect?
 

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.

Re: What do you collect?
 

I collect tiki mugs and other tiki stuff, and shot glasses.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Friends!

Its the only collectable that starts and ends Priceless.

Re: What do you collect?
 

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!

:noon

Re: What do you collect?
 

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

Autographed baseballs

Re: What do you collect?
 

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.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Guns, knives, and watches, all very slippery slopes

Re: What do you collect?
 

Cigars, cheap women, and STD's.

Re: What do you collect?
 

That's for damn sure!

(He said, as he went on collecting things....):rolleyes:

Re: What do you collect?
 

Im into collecting beer tap handles. i think im up to about 50 now, i dont remember exactly as they have been in storage since we moved into the apartment and i no longer have room to put them out. That will change as soon as our house is done and i get my man cave back.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Broken hearts.

Re: What do you collect?
 

golf balls, ball markers, dirty looks.

Re: What do you collect?
 

shattered dreams and motivation (kept in the finest bottle of Mississippi Mud).
Other than that, I've got sports cards I no longer collect and a nice slew of military coins.

Re: What do you collect?
 

I collect old US coins

Re: What do you collect?
 

I'm a mechanic, I know all about this one. Less collection more obsession though. If it has a use, wether I need it or not, I'm going to buy it. The tools guys see people like me from a mile away.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Canadian postage stamps and cigars.....:r and pipes...

Re: What do you collect?
 

Cigars and watches. Don't have any pics right now though.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Dust.:D

Aside from that, Not much.
Use to collect sports cards and autographs but years ago.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Baseball autographs and memorabilia and civil war books and civil war relics. Have mostly focused on my civil war collection but still occasionally pick up some autographs.

Re: What do you collect?
 

I've got tons of American stamps and related postal items - plus some old US money. Got a good collection of foreign money friends and family have been bringing me from their travels over the years. Like Brad said, I try not to go too crazy (i.e. Mac) or I'd have too much chit and nowhere to put it. One thing I would love to collect is fishing lures. I've dodged that fantasy because I know if I ever start, it'll be my demise. I just love a well-made, old fishing lure.

Wow Mac, that's freaking impressive!

Is that a Yuengling B&T beer stein? I love yuengling. I would kill for one of those.

Re: What do you collect?
 

Cigars and video games. I have a 72 cd holder full of 360, PS3 and PS2 games. On steam I have somewhere around 50 games in my library.

I also have backups of (nearly) every DVD that has come into my house. I'm a bit of a digital hoarder (with 3 TB of space :))

Re: What do you collect?
 

I collect signed NFL/College helmets, jerseys, footballs and anything else I can get a signature on.


Chris.....

Re: What do you collect?
 

Nice Mac!

I used to collect guns and ammo before I got into cigars.

Like the shirts say... "ATF should be a convenience store, not a gov't agency" :r

Re: What do you collect?
 

I used to be a collector of Pillsbury Doughboy stuff. I haven't searched any out for years but still have the stuff I got in the 90's and early 2000's.

Threadjack: -(P

Do you backup BluRay? If so, what software do you use.

Sorry...back on topic....
;s

Re: What do you collect?
 

Yes it is. There is always a case of Black and Tan in my fridge. I love that stuff.

Re: What do you collect?
 

You're my F'N HERO!!!
:banger

Re: What do you collect?
 

I unintentionally collect micro-brew beer glasses and Football Jerseys.
I use the beer glasses and wear the jerseys so Im not really "collecting" them.
I guess the same could be said for cigars!

Re: What do you collect?
 

That's the purest form of collecting Travis...you should be proud.

Re: What do you collect?
 

I know a few of you are collecting dust!!!;)

Re: What do you collect?
 

What do I collect...credit card bills.

Re: What do you collect?
 

I can't believe nobody else caught this obvious "movieoke" line....


Don't worry lots of people take second mortgages.




Anyway, I think this applies to the cigar part of it.

When I was a kid I was into baseball cards, collected coins via metal detecting with my dad some, but nothing actively. I still have both, but haven't acquired any more in years.

Re: What do you collect?
 

I collect a few things. Old video games mainly atari and nes. Labeled Pint glasses. And of course cigar bands.
