My cigar band collection was officially out of control (overflowed 3 Big Payback boxes & a shadow box) so I decided to use them for office decoration. It took about 8 hours and more than 500 (I stopped counting) cigar bands. The letters are each about 3 feet tall.

And this didn't even put a dent in my band collection (of two years). I didn't think it was possible, but I might just MIGHT smoke too much.
