El Guero Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 When i started 8 years ago, i would keep one of each new marca i tried. Last 2 years i keep them all in a moonshine mason jar. No reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 A bit of a funny ending to a band story. I made a chair with mine. But then we sold our vacation home furnished and the new owners bought it! They don't even smoke! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomF Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I save them and use em for NC's and other non CC's for people (friends/relatives) that asked me for a Cuban but do not treat or appreciate the CC's with the respect they deserve. Tapping them on the side of the ash tray, licking them before they light up, only smoking half a stick then asking me for another. I know I should not do that (switch bands) and yes I need better friends and relatives. Both groups can be "**** birds". Funny thing is this. One friend ask me for a couple of CC's for his eight hour drive back to his home state so I bought some Macanudos "Courts + Portifinos" from my local BM cigar store and gave them to him to smoke. I'll be damned a week or two later when we talked he said they were great and they were some of the best CC's that he has ever received from me. Never mind that I've given him Party Shorts, Short Church's, Monty. #5's etc, etc,..... which is a waste in hindsight. So now he wants the NC's w/CC bands. Now I'm in a pickle because I have to go to the BM and buy a some more. Lucky they are only $4.00 dollars a pop but the good thing is I don't have to share my CC's with him or hurt his feelings telling him he is not fit to smoke CC's. I also have a cousin who is worse. Story for another time. So you're basically admitting to passing off non-Cuban cigars as Habanos? Where I come from that's called counterfeiting. Wow. With friends like that, who needs enemies...

GavLew79 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'd love the one vote for "what band? I smoke the whole damn thing" to own up if genuine. I'd like to say; "Good on you. Don't live by convention or common sense. Bravo." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffer Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I never even considered saving the bands, as I usually throw them away when the burn approaches. Might have to start collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBS Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I've accidently snagged wrapper leaves while trying to slide the band off, won't do that again. I have a little Victorinox Swiss Army Knife 'cigar knife' that has the most wonderful little pair of scissors included. They are sharp as a razor and thin enough to slip under the band for a careful snip. Makes band removal very easy, never harms the wrapper leaf. At that point, they go in the ash tray.

joeypots Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I used to save bands but I got so many I stopped. I find I wait until the band warms up before I try to remove it. If I can't I use the thin sharp blade on this nifty cigar accessory. I can get the tip under the band and cut with out damaging the wrapper. Very handy.
