Anyone Else attached to bands?

Or am I the only weirdo. So, here's what I mean. The other night I smoked a Black Dragon robusto that my girlfriend had gotten me last year for my birthday. It was very good. However, I realized I only have 2 left. I was kind of disappointed because, even though I can get more, I really like the original band, not the new one Gurkha went to. Anyone else get a sort of attachment to a band that you are upset if it changes or would be upset if a certain band changes? Yeah, I know, I'm weird.

    I save all mine. My girlfriend says she's going to do something with them.

    A friend of mine really liked the LFD Ligero/Double Ligero labels from a few years back - I love the new ones without the flower-thing on the band. But to each their own, right?

    I save all of mine as well. I have hundreds - no clue what I'll do with them. Wish the wife was the "arts and crafts" type so she could do something cool with em!

    I only care if they change the blend as well as the band. Not a band saver here, unless I'll never see that cigar/band again, then I will save it.

    I save all my bands and when I gift a cigar I ask who ever I give one to save it for me if they do not save it for themself. I thought once I might save enough to do a wall in my future smoking room.

    I seen a web site that you can get points for bands and trade them for gifts never tried it. The site it was linked to was liget. as far as the bands I always wonder why did they really change them. It has to be for a reson other than just a change in look.

    I keep mine too, though I'm not sure exactly what i'll do with them yet. I have just under 2 pounds of them so far.

    I store the bands of every new cigar I smoke in my binder. Duplicates are in a bag, waiting for some sort of art project for my girlfriend.
