I have a friend that mooches cigars off me... never takes the band off- just uses it as a stopping point and on occasion I have seen him smoke one.. but I didnt feel like mentioning it to him.. more amusing to watch.

Most of my bands slide right off without un wraping them, but most of the singles I smoke have been sitting in the cigar shops humidor for about three years or so before I buy them- may have something to do with it.
