Default Wounded warrior needs your cigar bands

Hellos fellos, feel a little odd about popping in with my hand out after a spell away, but here I am, hear me out and respond lunatic gorilla fashion if you are inclined to do so.

I have a friend currently in the hospital getting PTSD treatment. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan, served quite honorably in truth and understatement. His story of service is not mine to tell but he has my utmost respect and admiration and I *can* say there's not a man among us that wouldn't feel the same if they knew his story. War is hell and he's seen a lot of it.

Anyhoo, he has taken up a couple of things into his therapy regimen, a musical instrument and proper cigars (as opposed to his flavored Swishers).

He asked me if I could give him my band collection so he can upholster his instrument's hard case in cigar bands. Well of course pal, if I had a band collection.

So anyone with sacks of these collected that has been wondering why they are saving them... at least 2 people on earth would be very grateful if you could share them.

Thanks brothers

Please PM me, also.
I usually keep all of mine (and others') for an artist friend,
and I have been known to beg for bands in the Asylum, as well.
However, this is a good reason to help out another, and as luck
would have it, I have an almost full envelope saved up.

Thanks to all you guys, I'm very grateful for the responses and I'm sure my buddy will be touched.

Anyone wants to drop a note of encouragement here, in a PM, band package, wherever, I'll make daggum sure he gets them!

Default Re: Wounded warrior needs your cigar bands

Got the final package today, everyone in the thread with Scott bringing up the rear. Scott you totally went a bit overboard dude, I have the feeling you'd offer your decoupage skills without much coaxing

I'm sure my buddy will be moved by you boys' thoughtfulness. You're doing God's work.

I actually quit smoking everything a few months ago, smoked my humidors empty and decided not to buy anymore, I was spending too much and the nuance I used to get from cigars was no longer there so what the heck, quit.

Anyhow, I'll be packing a travel humidor with the smokes you boys sent and all the notes and what-nots, the bands if he wants them now, and sending them up with his wife next week. I'll try to keep this thread posted if any badass instrument cases surface

cheers
