Favorite Cigar Bands

[chefchris]

5 Vegas A's, Ghurka, and Rocky Patel Vintage. I think Ashton's band could use improvement. Looks cheap. But i am usually chewing on the band before i get a good look at it. Anybody else eat the band before they smoke the cigar?

AVO's are worse. I liek the all gold Hoyo bands those look real flashy, impressive when the other person does nto smoke cigars. I like the gurkha's intricate design but its awful imconvenient to smoke with it on.

Too flashy and "hip" bands turn me off immediatly.

Handmade cigars should have handmade bands! haha

I personally like the 5 Vegas series looks. All 3 of them the black, gold and, red band. I've always appreciated that old school, vintage look that Punch, Artuero Fuente, Romey Y Julieta, etc. etc. have with the red look and gold and black artwork. Just my .02

I like the Padron "thousand" bands. Simple, effective. I want the money going into the cigar; I don't smoke the band (most of the time) so why should I care what it looks like?

Doesn't get cooler than the Opus X Forbidden X (black band) although DCM, Casa Fuente, and ESG came a close second.

I usually wait until I've smoked to within 1/4" of the band before I pull and eat it.....seems to add some flavor to the adhesive.

while we are on the topic, i convinced a girl one time that you had to eat the paper inside the fortune cookie for it to take affect. she ate it right in front of me.

that's why they call me Rico Suave.
