What is your favorite cigar band?

[.jacob]

Now I know the band is the least important part of any cigar, but I do have an appreciation for the well designed band and think that a superior one can add to the beauty of the stick and satisfaction of smoking it. I got thinking about this after I learned about Carlito delaying the first release of the Opus X by a few years while they tweaked the band design. It's clearly something that most manufacturers put a lot of consideration into.

My favorite is probably The Frank label. I love small, simple bands.

i like a nice band, but some of them are starting to cover half the stick. and do we really need a band on the foot?
opus x is still the benchmark to me

That new Lost City Opus X is pretty sweet!

My favorite for big and bold the la aroma de Cuba EE band or the Alec Bradley trmpus for modern and sleek the liga privada both #9 and t52

Gonna go for Cohiba Behike love the anti counter fitting measures on it while staying kinda simple.

Non Cuban? I'd say Opus X. Just something powerful about that band. When I first seen it, I was like "whoa".

Holograms. Inside the picture of the head is a bunch of little hologram heads then there is another gold rectangle with I think cohiba behike many times over in small print. Check out Brooks pics on his site. He just posted some pics.

I love this band too. So simple, elegant, and commanding of exclusivity.
