Not to digress from the purpose of the thread, but you are both right and wrong on this. While more lures are designed to catch shoppers not fish, fish are only color blind at night and in deeper water. Predatory fish do see colors and that allows them to locate their favorite meals in shallow water. If you have ever noticed, bait fish comes in many different colors.

As the water gets deeper the color of the lures become more muted to the human eye and eventually would become grays and shadows but that is when the fish's other senses take over and it becomes more about vibrations and sound.

Now back to the cigar bands. They obviously serve two different purposes. The first is to identify the stick. The second is to grab your attention and say "Buy me."

"do not remove the band, as that indicates about as far as you want to smoke"
