What's with all the bands - Page 2

I am a sucker for a well presented cigar. I know Sancho Panzas are good smokes but their band is horrible looking to me.

I think one band is plenty. Anything more than that can be a PITA to take off.

I like bright shiny objects

I have the horrible habit of picking at labels on bottles, and bands on cigars. I have destroyed too many wrappers for my liking because of this affliction. Fewer bands and naked chic...errr...sticks please!

(I know that joke was done already, but I couldn't resist)

GFDI, I am not color blind!

There are some sticks and bands I can stare at all day.

Lousy picture but a snazzy looking Dona Flor.

Yep the Selecao Robusto. Wonderful cigar. The new 20 stick boxes have the bottom band. The 50 count which is being discontinued did not sport the band. I have found them to be a very good smoke.

I did a box split on the old 50 cab but have had a hard time finding the new ones. Can you shoot me a pm or post up where you are getting the 20 boxes?

I just don't get it..

If I had my way, all of my cigars would be bandless. It's pretty impossible though. I think cigars look the best no cello, no band.
