    Default Cigar Band and Label Projects - Post em' Here

    Drawing inspiration off the links below, I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to cigar band and label projects. Please feel free to post yours here or add links to others that I missed. I have gone crazy on band projects the last few months and will be making additional posts showing those on top of this one-

    Cool hat/coat rack, James. After 700+ cigar bands, 200+ bottle labels, and 2 gallons of envirotex, my craftiness has found its end.

    I'm still collecting the stupid things, though, much to the chagrin of wife.

    Another clock. This one is kind of cool as I alternated the same two band styles throughout:

    Default Cigar pens

    Hey everyone. I am new here and was wondering if I could get some help. I make custom pens and I made these pens with stamps. I thought that I would like to try cigar labels and I could use some help gathering some up. If you could help I sure would appreciate it and by helping out I could make a cigar pen for you for a discount. Please let me know if you would be willing to help.
    Here is a link to my web site with pics of other things I build.

    The final coat of clear gloss just dried on these two frames.

    Nice work James! You have some skill and patience removing those band and labels. Are you doing the woodwork too? Keep 'em coming.
