Cigar band display?

Espresso · 05-22-2013, 04:44 PM

Looking for some ideas. Right now I have them thrown into cigar boxes. I was thinking of doing like a top ten of each type.

Or just random, by looks, because I know my list will change.

I went and bought a lot of these small super strong magnets, and use those to decorate my fridge with them.

With your collection and the amount of smoke you put in the air, can you even see your fridge door with all the bands hanging on it?

Coasters, serving trays, coffee or poker table. The number of uses are up to your imagination and the amount of effort you want to put into the project.

damn good idea. I have many doubles I can use to do that.

How about covering your coolador with them

sikk50 · 05-23-2013, 09:24 PM

I remember a guy laid them into acrylic and made the arm rest for his poker table out of them. That was awesome, I'd like to do that one day

HA! Only the ones I like.

I actually just paste them in a large craft book. When I started, I pasted all of them, now I just paste ones that aren't already in there.

Will be following this Thread as I am developing boxes of these bands and I'm looking to do a project or two

I paste mine to a piece of matte board leftover from one of my wife's framing projects:

Time to start a new one.

A brother of an inmate posted his cigar band projects on his website, along with detailed instructions (including part numbers and suppliers) on how he built a custom cigar lounge in his basement.

His poker table with cigar bands:

And his coffe table:

I'd post the pictures directly but it's in a flash based website so it's not really doable.

CamoFlogged · 05-24-2013, 03:14 PM

Me too. Didn't really take this serious at first (oops) but there are some cool ideas brewing here.

Think I will start small and paste them within a picture frame to start. Setting the bands within that poker table was cool.

rennD · 05-24-2013, 03:19 PM

An ashtray? The glass ones not plastic. Just an idea I've been toying with awhile.

A friend is making a beer pong table with an acrylic clear top with bands under it sealed up waterproof. Its pretty freaking awesome.

He also made coasters for beer / pop cans for the deck out of them

Doc from Stogie Fresh has some cool ideas. One thing he suggested is that his wife is a scrapbooker and if you are going to to do something where you make a collage to frame or similar to make sure you get "acid free" material (poster board et al) to glue the bands to.

iDad · 05-29-2013, 06:25 AM

I have been thinking about taking all of my bands and super gluing them to a table top, then putting on a layer of lacquer over the top.

Nice little cigar addition to my man cave. Haven't done it yet, but I will
