Gurkha Perfectos - I'm pretty sure the bands are backwards on these. First off, the head and tail look exactly the same. So close that if you remove the band you cannot see any difference. So, I was very careful to light the correct end leaving the band on. Four out of four the wrapper came loose after it had burned about an inch or so. I'm going to light the next one from the wrong end just to try it. I've got a box of these fairly expensive POS's and had rather not waste them. Any thoughts?
