That's an excellent suggestion Drake. I'm usually too clumsy or I don't have my reading glasses on when I'm peeling the band off and when they are indeed stuck to the wrapper, I don't realize it until it's too late so if you ever see me smoking a cigar with a patch or wraper missing where the band used to be, you'll know why
