Ditto, except I don't remember liking them. However, that has been a while.

I've been guilty - mostly when I'm looking for a good $3.00 smoke.

A very interesting topic. I did when I first started out. The allure of the band captivated me. However, enjoying Cuban cigars will negate your want for cigars with a snazzy band. This is because some of the best Cubans have the simplest bands. You can't judge a book by it's cover, and you can't judge a Cuban cigar by its band.

Now if the band just plain sux, I can put one of the great bands Jeof(cigma chi) designs to put my material girl fetish to rest.

LMAO.

I don't know if I should be honored or insulted.
