Re: Do you keep your bands?

I keep mine just so I can remember what I've tried.

Re: Do you keep your bands?

I keep all of them, although I'm still not quite sure why. I'm not planning to do anything with them. Maybe someday I'll get creative with them.

I keep mine. I was going to make an ashtray and use them to decorate the outside.

I keep them all, because I am planning for a future project and I want to be able to say I smokes every cigar represented in the project.

Re: Do you keep your bands?

I want to make a pinata with all mine. I figure it would take something like 5 years to completely cover one.

Re: Do you keep your bands?

I keep them until someone asks for labels & then I send them out. BTW, anyone interested in 3 month's worth of bands (about 200 +/-)?

Re: Do you keep your bands?

I've been keeping mine. I've got a project in mind. I'm going to "re-finish" my laptop. I've got about 50-75, I figure once I'm above 200 I'll have enough for adequate cover. At my current rate I should have enough within 5-6 months, and it's something I certainly don't mind working towards, lol.
