I know this is a little old, but I had an idea from my cousin and just recently made a few of these with the help of a laminator, scissors, and some rubber cement.

They are suprisingly simple to make, and are my bookmarks for the many books I am reading, and will never finish. On the one side is a cut out from a JR Catalog, and on the other is glued the old bands. Then just cut, and laminate.

I'm saving all of them in an old cigar box. One day I hope to take an old table and affix my favorite bands on it, then coat it with something to protect the bands. I think it will make a killer back porch table, chronicling my journey through the wide wide world of cigars. I saw a table at a friends house recently where he did exactly that and it was inspiring.

It would be interesting to do a new table every five years or so as you could track your progression as you go, plus there are plenty of limited edition cigars and cigars that manufacturers cease producing that would add some cachet to the table.

You know how people save movie/concert/etc tickets and then frame them? That's what I'm planning on doing with my cigar bands. Once of each favorite smoke until I have enough to fill a frame in. Hopefully it'll hang in my FUTURE cigar/poker/wine room. Future = 25+ years.
