What is the best tasting band you have ever smoked?

I like the cedar on RyJ cazadores. If it didn't cause the cigar to need re-lit every few minutes it would be the bee's knees.

Montecristo bands are the best, you really get that "inky" flavour that coats your mouth similar to chewing a biro til it bursts! I also eat the ash afterwords!

Hmmmm! Figures, senor Kmart.


Everyone knows that snorting the ashes is the best way to travel.






Hey bag boy! The best band TJ ever "smoked" with was the Grateful Dead back in 1965!

I think the Ink is a vegetable compound which mite explain you friends enjoyment of smoking the bands. Where is SeanP when you need him? He could tell us I'm sure if he doesn't know he could research and Tell us.

Have to say I have never even considered "smoking the band". I don't think I would even try, I usually take them off after a few minutes.

For those interested in bands, here is a good article:

...only unvarnished boxes though, smoking varnished boxes is nasty

Smoking the bands? are you guys mad?

[cj121]

Holy cow!

Some people actually take the bands off?

Next you'll be telling me to remove the cellophane before lighting up!
Sheesh, where's the fun in that?

I like to smoke them two boxes at a time
Here's a pic, however...

I didn't even know the banding was for smoking! I always used it as a safety to prevent me from smoking too much of the nub and burning my fingers! Will have to try it the next time I smoke a cigar!
