stinkhead Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Does anyone age with the ribbon on? I always remove it so I can inspect every cigar in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintMickey® Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Never thought about it but now that you've made me I will continues to leave the ribbon on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have noticed that some ribbons are tied too tightly, and deform the cigars slightly, especially longer vitolas, from long skinnies to double coronas. I generally untie the ribbons, but keep them in the box. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieninja Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I usually use it to lift the cigars out and inspect briefly. The I drop back into the box gently, and snip it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elvis Posted February 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2017 Always on. Ribbon used to lift the bundle out of the cab and push a cigar out of the middle. Somehow the cigar dented from the ribbon knot is my favorite. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahDooRow Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 For me it's sometimes left on and sometimes taken off. It depends how tight the ribbon is and if that tension is causing stress to the sticks on the outer perimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I've just always left them on. Hasn't yet caused any issues, plus its handy to pull them out with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris12381 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I leave them on and save them. My girlfriend wears them in her hair. All my luggage has a cigar ribbon on its handle to help me identify it should I ever be unfortunate enough to check a bag. Cigar ribbons were also very popular in A 19th century to make quilts and pillows. Maybe some day I'll have enough to make a small one.

s1911 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Technically it's better to remove them when storing long term as it WILL deform your cigars over time, I've seen quite a few very old cabs that had "pinched" looking cigars in them due to the bands never having been touched. That said and knowing what will happen I still don't remove mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threads this week are blowing my mind. Pinched cigars > straight? De-humidified forgotten sticks == properly stored sticks? FOH is destroying conventional wisdom! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaldes Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 It's just my observation that I don't think I have ever had a plugged cigar that had a heavy dent from the cabinet ribbon. Perhaps they compress because they are not overfilled? I don't know, but I always get a kick out of "that" cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did meet one weird fellow (well, he was from continental Europe) who made a point of only smoking dented/pinched cigars in public so he could claim that he only ever buys cabs. The lengths some people go to so they can scratch their snobby itch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
