Saving Cigar rings?

I do pretty much the exact same thing. Went to the book store and bought a nice leather writting journal (1 for habanos, 1 for NC's). Keeps the experience going after the cigar is gone

i live with 3 other smokers and my neighbor is one too, so we decided to collect all of them, then glue them on a poster board and then frame them. It comes out real nice, and we make it so theres no posterboard showing, im going back 2 school this weekend so ill try 2 take some pics

This turned out to be an excellent thread. I will start saving mine and I might make a collage.

If not I'll pm you for your addy caskwith.

Same here. It's either a picture or attach them to my coolidor.

I hold on to each new one with the idea that someday I'll fix them all to the outside of my coolerdor. Just for a little flair.

THey have those static plastic pages like for photos.

Another very cool Idea if you have 100 gallons of laquer would be to laquer them under your bar like they do with coins and bottlecaps etc

Or you could drop them in an old cigar box and forget them even like nearly everyone under the sun that smokes cigars including me does.

Why don't we just throw them out anyway?

I wonder how many of us are in this same situation . With anything I do to the house , I must let the wife pick the colors and patterns except in my room . I have almost every band from every cigar I've ever smoked . If I finished it , I have it and that means that I liked it . If it stunk , it went in the trash with the band on it .

I've only been smoking cigars for about a year and a half. Like many of you, I've been saving one band from each brand for some kind of future artwork to go into my den. Already have a couple of hundred bands pressed flat in a book. Unfortunately, I have ABSOLUTELY no art talent and will have to find someone to do something with them.

All of my other bands have been going into cigar boxes for some unknown compulsive reason. The second box is almost full. Now that I think about it, I really can't offer a good reason why I'm doing this.

Not only do I keep the ring, I date it on the back and give it a 1-10 rating so I can remember in 10 years if I liked it or not. Then I just paperclip them together until I can figure out a better storage solution.

I keep tossing mine in a box, For what reason I'm still not sure.

Plan to make a collage or table top like others have mentioned, but I'll probably never get around to it. I'd like to do one of those collages that looks like something else from a distance.
