You hit it right on the head.So how do you smoke your cigars? Band ON or OFF? Personally I leave it on until it is in danger of being burnt. Please give a reson for your vote. My ereason is that i collect my bands, and don't want then to tear, so I hope that the heat will loosen the glue. I'm also worried about damaging the wrappper.
just wait on this.if its and opus I'll smoke the band, since I am a opus whore. LOL> wtf is this topic dave.. pack another bowl brother.
Noob thanks you for the tip!I take them off as soon as it's safe to do so without tearing either it or the wrapper. I also collect the bands (and paste them in my "cigar review" notebook under the review).
I like the idea of writing the ratings on the back. I like to take the band off but not until it can safely be taken off, I also collect the bands.I take mine off as long as it wont tear the wrapper. I collect the bands so I take em off before I light up and when smoking I write a rating on the back. No reason the leave the band on in my opinion.
