Default I need lots of cigar bands, what should I do?

I'm looking to make a humidor with a cool exterior, so I thought of gluing different types of cigar bands on the outside. I already have a head start, and I will get more from buying different sticks, but I would like a large variety of bands, as in 1 of each or as close as I can get to that, and the quantity I need is pretty immense

I'll be needing about 1,570 from rough math, this is gonna be a mini-fridge sized humidor, so I've been trying to find a way to get different bands, but I'm turning up only custom printed bands and collectible portrait bands of historical figures, etc...

Anyone know how to get bands without smoking 1,570 cigars in a short period my local store doesn't keep bands, so don't think I didn't ask


if you guys have any spare bands, I'm not looking for any brand in particular, but I would be glad to pay shipping, other than that, anywhere that just sells a sh** ton of assorted actual bands?


this is also posted in a forum where I'm a little less new
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.htm...=143&t=1041952
in case this sounds like a "I need bands for counterfeit plz" kind of thing

I bought a bunch of them on ebay a couple years back.

They were never used and came in big bundles. There were many hundreds of bands in the auction I won - probably eight or ten different styles of bands, and they were pretty cheap too. Some were really cool-looking with gold embossing. I think they were probably old bands that were left over from cigars that never "took off" since I hadn't heard of any of the brands.

Sounds like you better start making some 5 cigar evenings to get the ball rolling.

In all seriousness, good luck. Good advice working with your B&M. Most keep bands and might not mind coming off of their stash.

I think you should man up and smoke the 1500 cigars.

This is sort of the lame road to take, but try eBay.

That came off different than what I meant it to. I meant lame as in, he doesn't get to smoke all the sticks himself.

post a WTT here on the board, offer some sticks in exchange for bands and you'll have plenty of bands before you know it.

If you posted this a couple of weeks ago I could have sent you a big ziplock bag full, but I just gave them away to a kid that collects bands.
