    LOL -- maybe.
    I just emptied it out before we moved, and put the bands in a ziploc bag. It's only about 1/4 full right now, doesn't look too great. Guess I need to smoke more so I can fill it back up and snap a pic :-D

    That's cool man - looks nice. I have one full of wine corks and have been wondering what it would look like with cigar bands.

    Very nice and cool idea. I have a cork board that I am putting my bands on.

    Here ya go....but it looks much better when it's full and the bands are "rearranged" so they're facing outwards.

    Bonus: cigar band ashtray.

    (Cut a piece of cardstock to fit the bottom of ashtray. Glued bands to cardstock and cut off excess/overhang. Used clear packaging tape to secure cardstock to bottom of ashtray.)

    Yeah, that ashtray is awesome! I am inspired. I want to make one now. I guess I better get to smoking some more and remembering to save the bands. Snow is melting and supposedly it is supposed to warm up a little bit this week.
