Blank Cigar Bands?

[zirotti]

I am sure this has been discussed ad nasuem, but I quickly browsed the search results and couldn't find anything. I'd like to pick up some blank cigar bands to keep track of when I received sticks, etc.

Also, I have received some sticks from BOTL that actually had them printed. Any guidance in that department is appreciated

Thanks.

You can get the blank ones from Heartfelt industries. They are $17.95 for 500

Onlinelabels.com has bands that work with a laser or inkjet printer but they are a bit more expensive. These come 16 to a sheet that can be fed into your printer.

I would NOT recommend the ones from heartfelt. They are as cheap as they come and dont stick worth a damn. There was a big split on the good blank bands a while back and maybe one of the bros can chime in where those came from.

Those bands work great Craig and I believe Jolietfire started that thread. Definitely worth searching for.

Try that. I got some from him well after the split and they are great.

Does anyone just make their own (paper and a glue stick-or some sort of various of)? Or would it just be easier to buy some?

The trade/buy is way easier lol

You can order them here. I believe Bob doesnt charge unless they are in stock......

Thanks guys! I will have to send him a message, it definitely looks easier to buy/trade for them (it seems I can now access the thread that was posted above). I appreciate the input :yes:

Bob (rramstad) has been selling them for a DECADE now and they're the ones everybody seems to love. Years ago, he charged 30 bucks for 1000... I think most recently it was 40 bucks for 1000. He keeps his source close to the vest and that cost covers all of his expenses. Drop him a PM!

I wish he'd make straight ones! I only use these to label uncello'd sticks with dates and if they're a gift or a trade, who they're from. I don't need the fancy-lookin ones!

That being said, these work amazingly well.

How many do you need to get you by? PM me your ady as I have some to spare for a brother in need!

This seemed like a dead thread from 3 years ago, but I needed to do a hardcore google search and also a thorough search here until I finally found this thread!! I found the heartfelt industries website for blank bands and it looks like Bob hasn't done any more runs of the bands in over a year. Anyone have other websites they know of that sells blank bands?? For the ones with cello I got some avery labels from the store and put it on there. But I'd like to start keeping track of non-cello cigars and who gifted them to me or I purchased on my own to see how long I don't smoke them with their age.

Now, I'd rather buy a bulk amount and be set for a very long while, so no need for them to be bombed to me.

If I put this post in the wrong area, please let me know too. I was debating about putting it in the ISO, but saw this before posting it there.

Best option for the time being. They work great.

Awesome thank you!! Have you used them before??? It mentioned they can be cracked to become smaller??? I just need a little something to write a date and where purchased (or bombed from a BOTL)....

 

[StogieNinja]

Yeah. They're a little thick, but they work great. I do like that they're squared, so you can cut into strips. I usually cut in half and put it around the foot.

OK, great thanks. I saw the heartfelt ones, but after seeing something posted that they don't seem too well I had to get a deeper search going for other companies. I guess I can give these guys a shot and see how it goes from there.

Just print them and use a tiny dab with a non-toxic glue stick like the kids have in their pencil case for school.

That way you can get your bomb tag on every cigar too

Does he not do bulk buys then if they're left over?? So any one individual can get some??

I filled out the form, shot him an email, and sent money. He said he had a few bags left over.
