Ugliest Band

**slcraiders** · 11-02-2007, 04:30 PM

I have seen threads on forums where people express their choice for the coolest or most creative cigar bands. I am curious about what you think is the ugliest or tackiest cigar band out there. For me, the RP Brick label is ugly, the detail on ISOM Ramon Allones is pretty cheap looking and the Acid bands are downright tacky. I am sure I will think of others, but what do you folks think is the worst looking band out there

I think the nording band is pretty lame. Good smoke though.

I will definitely have to agree with you and go with the RP Brick.

Although they are sorta sharp, many of the CAO bands just scream "trying too hard"...they leave you wondering if you are buying the band (or the box in the case of the vision) or the stick. I did enjoy this question, especially considering the history of the tacky cigar advertisement and or bands, what was once considered cool is now considered tacky. Just look at the old Mark Twain cigar advertisements; complete with Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer on them...over the top in my opinion, however I still have a soft spot for them.

I'd have to go with Motorhead...

Actually, the Isla del Sol is pretty bad, as is the Acid line (although the Jazz isn't too terrible looking.) I really am not interested in the silhouette of the bad boy leaning on his crotch rocket. I also think the DC Maximus is pretty over the top. A bit too gaudy.

I disagree Hefty, The Rolling Stones are clearly much uglier than motorhead.

Really? I thought they were quite sexy to be honest. Especially Dee Snyder.

Puros Indios - This band is so ugly I refuse to smoke the stick. No joke.

I'd have to say Arturo Fuente. Same ugly band on all their regular line of cigars, and lo and behold, most of their regular line cigars taste the same, what a shocker.

See, i didn't even know the Brick was made by RP. I just immediately looked at the band said, "Nope".

Is it at least a decent smoke?

I have an Isla del Sol in my cooler somewhere, I can't remember the band, but have you had one?....how is it, may have to try it out tonight.

I totally agree with you about the crotch rocket thing. IIRC it refers back to an actual person or something, but I just don't get the advertising concept there.
