What's with all the bands

Volt · 03-01-2009, 08:16 PM

My .02 I like bands. We sit there and evaluate the looks of the wrap, viens, etc. I like a good looking band as well to go with it.

I just bought a bunch of gummed buckle styled bands for bombs, buys, etc. ~ .08 a band for a plain white label. We know they get bands way cheaper than I can. 16,000 labels was .04 a label.

I'll even go the .08 ea for printing for conversation. So, .08 on a $10 - $20 cigar, not even worth the mention. Let's even go the more typical $5 cigar, I would bet they aren't gonna refund the saved .08 on a $5 cigar. Unless the band is special like the Oliva silk cloths, I would say no real additional expense to the stick.

I like the look of the extra bands too... I think it makes a stick look more attractive (on most anyway) which adds to my overall smoking pleasure.

I also like the bands, and I think it is a good marketing ploy. If a cigar band stands out you are probably more likely to give it a try.

Have to admit, I'm a sucker for bands too.
