Awesome lol... When I first started smoking, I would put the cigar bands in my wallet. Well that didn't last too long lol.

Saving mine for a photo-mosaic. Still looking for a "prize winning" photo. Probably a self-portrait!

You know. . . me smoking a fine cigar with my buds!

Photo-Mosaic:
Each cigar band will be a color pixel in a large format poster (4' x 6' size)! Anyone have the time to scan my 10-gallon fish tank full of bands? (12 years worth!!) Also need a program to map all the images into a color pixel layout.

Just count 100 and weigh them! Then weigh the rest. . . simple estimating math.

Don Fernando · 07-10-2010, 01:35 AM

different sizes bands, different weight in paper. That won't work

thebayratt · 07-10-2010, 11:57 AM

I have a Planter's Peanut container full of bands it was 291.... So you can guess from there.

Make a collage of them in a picture frame. It comes out very nice IMO.

Azaelius · 07-11-2010, 02:17 AM

Ah! I was just thinking about what to do with my bands lately. This is a good idea,and I saw some really great ones at Target earlier... hmmm...

ama · 07-11-2010, 05:45 PM

Goodluck!

ProBe · 07-11-2010, 06:13 PM

Very cool idea.

KenyanSandBoa · 07-12-2010, 10:14 AM

Nice...that will look sweet once that bad boy is filled.

I keep mine in an Oliva V box from the first box split I ever did...memories (tear).

07-12-2010, 05:29 PM

I throw all my old bands in an empty cigar box.

Samsquanch · 07-12-2010, 05:51 PM

Hmm, I have a spare Red Hook growler somewhere, I like this idea!

ValorBali41 · 07-12-2010, 08:21 PM

I had the same Idea, so I saved all my bands in an Olivia Serie V box. Gonna put mine in laminate underneath a glass table!!!

I posted the first picture on my dutch cigar forum and someone send me a box full of bands which almost filled the vase.

Now you really need to count them!

Yeah...that's kind of what I was thinking.

I like Bill's idea of the collage too...I may have to attempt that one.
