Saving cedar wraps?

[The Green Monkey]

I was just curious if there was any utility to saving cedar wraps. Do they have any secondary uses that a noob might not be aware of?

I know some people like to light their cigars with the burning cedar, but it's usually too breezy outside for me to bother with all that jazz...

I did a long time ago but they are fragile and become brittle and wind up becoming a mess if not stored correctly. I throw them away now.

No reason to save 'em that I know...

I used them a few times to light my cigar with until I had one that completely ruined a great cigar with an overpowering cedar flavor. I just toss them now.

They make great kindling for your survival kit. You do have a survival kit, don't you?

Doc.

I am rebuilding a cedar tree with mine, LOL.

Thanks, everyone. Pretty much what I figured, but the packrat in me tries to think of every conceivable reason not to throw anything away. This trait does not please my wife.

The world is full of kindling when your survival kit includes a Bernzomatic and ~8 bottles of propane.

I like to use them to keep sticks separated in my humi. Kind of a natural celo wrapper.

I keep a couple tubes around from my RyJ's in case I'm traveling somewhere where I'll want to bring a stick. They still have the ceder in em' but not for any particular reason other than I didn't take it out

I was going to try that with some after I smoked the cigars in them. But maybe not now. :\

I have a leather travel humidor that came only with a cedar floor. I'm using the cedar wrappers to line the walls.

Well, I used them to light my cigars but I always start them in the BR and then I go outside.
