There are certain colors that I think work very well on a cigar band. I really like red, green, brown, and gold or any combination of these.

On the other hand, I think there are colors or combination of colors that should not be on a cigar band.

My least favorite color on a cigar band is blue. I don't mind navy blue so much but that indigo blue sucks. Those new blue Gurkha bands look awful to me. I don't care for the CAO Italia band either.

I'm not saying anything about the quality or brand of cigars only the bands.

What is your favorite or least favorite cigar band???

I'm partial to the Opus Band and then the VSG band is cool too.

I like the La Aroma de Cuba band best of all NC marcas.

La Aroma de Cuba the best "sweet pics" & Montecristo the worst "plain jane"

It varies for me. I like the simplicity of the Tatuaje bands. But I also like the grandeur and complexity of the Opus X bands.

The Gurkha Class Regent and Master's Select bands look pretty sharp, as do the VSG and Padron Anniversary series.



I'm looking at a baggie of bands here on my desk. I have never noticed all of the gold medals on these bands. There are 6 on the RyJ Habana Reserve, 4 on the Fuente, 4 on the LGC Serie R . . . where do they hand all of these out?

The Opus X band is pretty ornate as well as the Casa Fuentes. I've always though HdM and R&J bands are some of my favorite for CCs. A classic look and lots of gold are always impressive. On the other hand, understated bands like Padron, Montecristo, are cool too.

as far as my least favorite?

La Aurora barrel aged are damn ugly, but there are plenty of worse bands out there. I'm just drawing a blank right now.

Other bands I don't like:
RP Fusion (blue)

I like the Gran Habano Band. I also like the simple Nub cigar bands.
[Reply]

My favorite band is probably the Masterblends 3 and least favorite the Alex Bradley Pryme band.
[Reply]

My favorites in no order are: Don Arturi Gran Abiverxario, Augusto Reyes City Series, Opus, and DCM

Least favorites: any RP pretty much and Tats

I like extravigent bands for some reason lol
[Reply]

I like the San Cristobal band, and I don't like the most of the RP bands, because they are on RP cigars, same goes for Gurkha.:-)
[Reply]

:-) forgot about these
[Reply]

Really like Cruzado and CAO LX2 bands!!!
[Reply]

I really like the ESG band its super ornate but not too over the top. I can not stand multi band cigars.
[Reply]

Fav is clearly the Diamond Crown Maximus. Waaaaaaaaaaaay cool :-)


Least fav belongs to one of my favorite cigars - Reserva Miraflor. Good thing the label doesn't indicate taste :-)

Love the Opus X and Oliva V/O Bands....not a fan of the tats
[Reply]

I like the ESG a lot.
I also like the La Aroma De Cuba Especial Edicion and the San Cristobal bands.
[Reply]

I tend to like the simple bands....nothing too flashy. I've not smoked cigars because they look like the manufacturers put too much money into marketing and not enough into tobacco.
