I like the San Cristobal as well!

Diamond Crown Maximus
Litto Gomez
JdN Celebracion
OpusX of course

And I really like the Illusione bands for their simplicity.

Flashy - Opus X
Contemporary - CAO
Minimalist - Padron

Honorable Mention - Zino Platinum

Dislike - Gurkha (the over the top bands covering half the smoke)

Matasa 30th is one of my favorites. Ghurkas are cool.

I prefer understated -- I try to never judge a cigar by its label -- I've tried enough smokes where all they have going for them are a flashy label, but I've had plenty of crappy/medicore smokes out there with plain lables as well...

The only lables I really like to hold on to are from the conterfeit cubans they peddle to tourists -- many friends and relatives have taken the "counterfeit cuban crash course" before a vacation and proudly come home with examples of fake and real labels to add to the collection.

- God of Fire would have to be one of my favorites.
- Partagas Black labels look cool.

I know there are a few more that I really like, just cant think of them right now.

I agree EGQ, and I don't buy based on the label. But marketing aside, I enjoy labels that are intricate and unique.

BigWhite, I also like the Diamond Crown Maximus label. I haven't smoked one yet, but the label is pretty neat.
