It was a joke but thanks for jumping on new guys who are interested in some of the unique art and presentations.

Shot this today... And smoked it.

But if we're talking presentation. I think these boxes would be near the top for.

Please dont bomb me!

Love the woodgrain on that left one!

Just going by the post and if I jumped on you you'd know it, I'm a big boy.

Keep it on topic gents and take it to PM. If we're talking box presentation, I think the Tat monster series are some of the coolest in recent years.

I think the metal bands on the Macanudo Vintage 2006's are pretty sweet. Also the CAO Black boxes are pretty sweet

Come on BOB! Why keeping secret to your fellow Babotl...
Bring a few sticks at the Barn Bro.

mahtofire14 · 03-20-2014, 03:08 AM

The Ave Maria band is probably my favorite.

Sadden · 03-20-2014, 11:32 AM

No uber expensive ghurka boxes yet? Wtf guys?

Jk jk. I like the Oliva boxes. That red is so pretty.

mk05 · 03-20-2014, 12:03 PM

I am with senor dvickery. Nothing is quite like RyJ for box art, although Sancho Panza has really nice color schemes and patterns...too bad his face ruins the presentation!

As for the whole package including bands, there's something about the understated elegance of Davidoff. This one has a yellow sticker, so it must have been PSP.

czerbe · 03-20-2014, 01:57 PM

Some of my favorites right here [IMG]

jjirons69 · 03-20-2014, 08:16 PM

I like a lot of the artistic bands, but I think El Centurion is pretty sharp.

miamicigarco · 03-21-2014, 09:31 AM

I'm going to chime in on this... If you take 100% of cigar smokers, only about 20% of those are social media active. This includes cigar forums, cigar review blogs, twitter, facebook, instagram. By active I am stating those who actively seek out cigars.

When a new cigar comes out the 80% of consumers look to advertising or presentation to try a cigar for the first time. So the band, and box art plays a huge role on enticing people to try a cigar for the first time.

The cigar itself will determine if they come back or not.

As someone relatively new to cigars I agree with miamicigarco. When I was first looking at cigars to buy I would read the review on the site but I would also look at what the cigar looked like. That being said, what made me like the cigar and want another one of that kind was the taste and how it smoked.

Gabe215 · 03-21-2014, 01:58 PM

I have to agree with Adam, Montecristo, Upmann, Partagas, RyJ, and HDM, (CC's) all have boring plain bands and they are my favorite Marcas and to not have smoked them because they don't have flashy bands and come in cardboard boxes doesn't make any sense since they are some if the best cigars around and are truly classics!! And as Bob said a lot of cigars I smoke like custom rolls don't even have bands! And if you prefer NC's everyone will point a newbie in the direction of Fuente and Padron (thousand series) which have boring Cubanesque style bands and they are great beginner smokes, at a great price point!
