What is the best tasting band you have ever smoked?

I often smoke the band, as is normal, and your friend is right- they add that extra dynamic at the end and are pretty darn tasty! Those who know me know that I am a fan of the bands on bolivar, partagas and ramon allones. The bands on cohiba taste to metallic for me. Never been a cohiba guy- for just that reason!

I was recently having a discussion with a friend about how far down the cigar you could smoke and he said that he had smoked a cigar all the way to the nub without taking the band off and that actually the band had tasted pretty good.

Does anyone know if particular flavoured inks are used or if there is anything harmful in the inks which might be harmful to ones health, (that Behike band looks pretty toxic)

With our old friend LeeNubster up to his usual tricks Nubwise and burning those bands on a regular basis I think this is a matter for some serious and thoughtful review.
