BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Blank Cigar Bands

I have a nice round getting made up at the printer. Hang tight. These are supercool and have plenty room for all your notes and dating. Self stickers, also.

Some of you might know Doug "Buddha-Daddy" in SoCal, I received the attached excel template from him years ago.
Should be self explanatory - one sheet for one-off bands, one sheet uses a macro to automatically populate the entire page with identical bands. Print, cut on the lines and tape, pectin or use a glue stick on the ends and wrap the cigar.
Another one I've seen done is the narrow post-its notes that are like 3/4" or 1" tall and 3" wide - turn them over so the glue faces out, write on the back and wrap the cigar.

So, we can write on the back of them too? :smokingbo
I don't have a problem at all with the blank bands from HF. BUT, I don't use them alone. Using just the blank band, they won't stick. However, I label my cigars and I use self-adhesive address labels on which I print the cigar, vitola, date added to the humi, and how I acquired it. I prefer using the blank bands over a plain piece of paper I cut up (which I used to do). It is more durable and, quite frankly, I think it looks better. can check out my thread here:You How many were you looking for?
Totally agree, those are the best I have seen and very reasonable in price. Those are the only ones I use. I usually buy 1000 at a time, it that is too many for some folks try splitting the cost/labels equally. Bob sells these on another board without issues, hundreds of positive TC for him, I have bought with him several times.
