The more modest band, the better the cigar -- sometimes.

Umbagog fer instance. The bands look like someone made them on their computer printer with cheap paper. No picture, no embossing, only two colors and it just says: Umbagog.

some of the great cigars don't have bands (thinking cuban boxes of 50 for instance). Some cigars with big labels are great. Some cigars with no bands suck (thinking bundles of crap cigars). Some cigars with big bands suck.

I personally try not to smoke the band. Smoke what you like, like what you smoke, get off my front lawn you damn kids.

Mrs. TommyBB made me a couple framed art pieces with bands. They were in my office at Xavier University when Katrina hit. The standing water in the closed office caused them to be ruined by humidity and mildew.
