I like the CC Cohiba band. I also like the Opus X band.

I dont like the Montecristo and padron (non-anniv series) band

Forgot about this one. Beautiful!

CAO America are cool looking bands.

RP Fusion (electric blue) bands are horrible.

I think Partagas bands (round red and gold) exemplify what I see in my mind's eye when someone says cigar bands.

Don't have a favorite but the worst I've yet to come across is the Bahia Blu band.

I like the ornate character of the Opus X, Ashton VSG and ESG, DCM, but I love the simplicity of bands like Tatuaje and MonteCristo...
[Reply]

The Padron Anniversary Bands. The 1926 especially is extremely elegant IMO. The colors on the anniversary bands compliment the cigars nicely.

:-) I forgot about that one. Probably my favorite.
[Reply]

Favorites I agree with the padron anny , and I've always liked the VSG band.
Least favorites Gimmicky double banded sticks.
[Reply]

I like the Oliva cloth bands and San Cristobal bands

Don't like the cuban Montecristo bands...too plain and too brown....doesn't stop me from collecting em though! :-)
[Reply]

A couple favorites are San Cristobal and La Aroma de Cuba. A couple really bad ones have to be Reo and Vibe by Rocky Patel ( todays Joes special) and OneOff( nothing against the peace sign, just don't care for it on a cigar band).

Nice topic!

I like the appearance of the Damond Crown Maximus bands as well As the Padron Anny's as my favorites. I really like the LGC and Punch bands as well.

Although I like the cigars, the Vegueros bands leave something to be desired, I guess that's why I don't smoke the band huh?

A few I have always liked:
CAO Brazilia - love the colors against the dark wrapper, and the similarity to the Brazilian flag
Oliva G, O, and especially V- I like the style and elegant simplicity of these
Partagas - just classic
Opus X - just cool


I don't like:
Sancho Panza - just too plain, love the sticks
Flor de Oliva - loud colors, and just too tacky
Oliveros XL - probably why I have no desire to try one
Victor Sinclair - just too big, and add nothing to the appearance of the stick

I really like the Partagas 155 bands for some reason.

I like the DPG Cuban Classic bands but don't really like the regular Padron bands.
[Reply]

:-)
I also like A. Fuente gran reserva labels, CAO Sopranos, Punch, and Partagas

Least favorite: El Mejor, 601 bands, and I don't like the new Pepin Blue label (I loved the old band).
[Reply]

My favorite is the VR band.

Pics would really be nice in this thread. :-)

My fav's are the San Cristobal and the La Aroma de Cube Especial Ed.
The Cubal Libra has a pretty lame band and the cigar sucks too.
I agree w/ ya Darrel on the baby blue bands, LAME.
[Reply]

Favorites are San Cristobal (we have parrots) and Opus (just plain classy). Also like most of the 5 Vegas bands.

Least favorites are any of the Bahia line (just doesn't say 'cigar' to me) and Erin Go Bragh (can't quite make this connection either)
