KB24 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Anyone in the states recommend where to get blank cigar bands? I'd preferably like ones that have some sort of adhesive already on them. Let me know and thanks in advance. -Patrick
Colt45 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I'm pretty sure Mark at Cigarmony used to carry them - have you contacted him?
CaptainQuintero Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Pencil + Paper + Scissors + dab of pectin = + more cigar money!

Let me know and thanks in advance. -Patrick I don't do this much so actually buying labels to scrawl on has never crossed my mind. This is what I have done once in a while. I cut strips of parchment paper. The stuff that Lady Piggy cooks cookies on! It is not wax but something like vellum and pretty cheap. It has no oil or residue on it. I have narrow labels for folder tabs for my computer label printer. I write detail on the computer that I can actually read sometime in the future, attach about a 1/4 of the label to the paper and wrap the paper tight to the cigar where the label contacts it and holds it in place. The label then, never touches the cigar and slips right off when you want it to.
phidelt076 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing. I never would have thought of this.

rckymtn22 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Could use the parchment paper from old cigar boxes if you have any for labels.
GernBlansten Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 David at Heartfelt has blank bands with adhesive.
KB24 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 David at Heartfelt has blank bands with adhesive. Emailed him this morning to confirm if the adhesive covers the whole label or just a small portion? Don't want the adhesive touching the cigar wrapper. Also wanted to know up to what ring gauge the bands cover?
dB69 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Cut a slice of a Post-it note. Works up to 46RG without the adhesive touching the wrapper.

Don't want the adhesive touching the cigar wrapper. Also wanted to know up to what ring gauge the bands cover? Patrick, I use those Heartfelt ones, and they're perfect and exactly what you want. The adhesive is just on the last 1/2" of one end, and they'll work for up to about a 55 or 56 ring gauge cigar. How many do you need? I've got a pack of about 100 or so left, and I'm probably not going to use them up. I can send them to you if you need/want, just PM me your address, if you haven't already ordered some.
