So that leads me to ask, do you leave your band on when smoking or take it off? In addition, why?

Does anyone else feel like I just asked a test question?

I always warm the cigar up a bit before I remove the band. Reason being is it will sometimes stick to the cigar and tear it if you don't first heat up the cigar. Once the cigar is torn then it isn't worth a darn.
