Favorite Cigar Bands

[TampaSupremo]

One of the dimensions of cigar smoking that I enjoy is the myriad of bands that are out there. Some of them have a classic feel (Fuente), while others can be appreciated for a simple, yet bold statement (Cohiba), or finely detailed artwork (Gurkha).

That being said, I was wondering if anyone out there has a favorite or two, even if the cigar itself sucked, or you haven't even smoked it yet?

My current favorite (which I have smoked) is the Gran Habano. The design itself reminds me of medieval Spain (actually, Iberia I think would be the proper term) while the colors of the band and the corojo wrapper do a great job complementing each other...Damn, I'm such a nurd!

I like the Opus and D.C. Maximus bands.

Hoyo de Monterey (Epicure #2), I think that it is just simple but classy.
