Cutom roll bands (just for fun poll!)

BTW, at least to me on these B&W proofs, the brushes in the "X" configurations look a lot more like spears than they do paint brushes.

Blend = preexisting/not my own.
Leaf origin = I'm not sure! I just thought it looked cool

These are just cigars for me to smoke on the back porch. The band concept/poll is just for grins and giggles. I'm going to make them and put them on the bundle of 25 I've ordered. These aren't for public consumption. They're just for me and my buddies because I thought having a custom roll was pretty darn cool!

I guess it would have been easier to say "no to all three"

Cuba's outline is very iconic to the cigar industry and since distribution of this cigar will be my front porch, back porch and MAYBE garage, I figured I'd be ok.

Since there is no relation to Cuba by you, or your cigar (is it even a Puro?) and it is just for "grins and giggles" why not put your face on the label?

from google translate: Cigar = Puro

I'm not quite sure how this has devolved into some kind of discussion on my connection with Cuba??

This is simply a "would it look cool as a band" thread. That's all.

Actually the Spanish word for Cigar is Ciggaro. A "Puro" is a cigar made entirely out of leaf from one country. Habana cigars are know as "Puros" because all the tobacco is Cuban in origin. However, a cigar from any country can be a "puro" as long as it is made entirely of that country's tobacco.

I'll keep that in mind.

Where it came from. Google has a translate feature. I used "English" to "Spanish"

I typed: cigar artist
It gave me: artista puro

I liked it, so I used it for my homemade, for home consumption custom, bundle. (read: I'm not so concerned with it being correct as much as it looking cool)

I missed this...it wouldn't look as cool.

Thanks Mike. I was just curious / confused by your post, or maybe I read too much into it. Enjoy the cigars.
