Smoked the Band???

[grand cru no 2]

Here is the story:

Generally I am reading or talking with friends when I smoke. Today I was taking a "break" from work and went outside to read part of a case file. Thoroughly involved in my file I do not realize that I am smoking down the small cigar. When I look I notice I have just started smoking the band!!!

Anyone ever done this before?

p.s. - the smoke had a papery flavor and undertones of printer's ink.

Somebody should create a smokeable band with a special flavor and market a cigar like that. You could always take the band off if you don't like it!
