    No, the band stays on for the same reason it was originally created.

    Bands were developed to prevent tobacco staining of fingers, particularly women's fingers.

    1. No, you need that sucker on so you know which end to light

    2. I think Dennis might be right, but I think it was also meant to help keep the cigar held together.

    Thanks for the contest - hopefully people read the rules (and follow them) - grrr...

    1. No, you don't want to tear the wrapper.
    2. To help keep the cigar held together.

    But my original #1 was a better answer I think...

    1. The cigar band should never be removed, its to keep your drool from running down the cigar and putting it out when smoking a tasty Cuban.


    2. same as number 1.

    Thanks for the contest, Nelson.

    1) Take that band off, especially on Gurkha perfectos. Then, you can be confused on which end to light, and subsequently hop on chat to ask BWA what to do. Of course, it will still unravel.

    2) The cigar band created as a response to devine intervention by the God of Tobacco. Its purpose is to keep the God of Tobacco happy with cool designs & varying sizes. The God of Tobacco is picky, and believes that the spice of life is variety.

    1. Leave them on so guys like me don't clip and light the end of my finger.
    2. Bands were created originally by Tommy Tobaccy for a golden ticket contest to tour the the original Cohiba factory.
