Favorite Cigar Bands

[taltos]

I'll put in a vote for the Maria Mancini (NC) and La Escepcion (NC-2004) bands, simple, traditional and elegant.

An EL band on any cigar looks fantistic to me.

i will go ahead and suggest the Bucanero El Capitan- something about the gold ship on the simple black background

5 Vegas A's, Ghurka, and Rocky Patel Vintage. I think Ashton's band could use improvement. Looks cheap. But i am usually chewing on the band before i get a good look at it. Anybody else eat the band before they smoke the cigar?

AVO's are worse. I liek the all gold Hoyo bands those look real flashy, impressive when the other person does nto smoke cigars. I like the gurkha's intricate design but its awful imconvenient to smoke with it on.

Too flashy and "hip" bands turn me off immediatly.

Handmade cigars should have handmade bands! haha

I usually wait until I've smoked to within 1/4" of the band before I pull and eat it.....seems to add some flavor to the adhesive.

while we are on the topic, i convinced a girl one time that you had to eat the paper inside the fortune cookie for it to take affect. she ate it right in front of me.

that's why they call me Rico Suave.
