In the big, wide world of cigars, it can often be a daunting task to try to expand your horizons and venture into new and uncharted territory. I don’t know about you but walking into a B&M is a lot like when I’m with a group of friends and someone starts telling jokes, I know a million of them but in that moment my mind goes blank. I have a million cigars on my wishlist, ones I’ve seen here or there, ones I’ve read about, ones recommended by friends and bums alike but in that moment when the humidor doors open, my mind freezes and my eyes wander... and I’m reduced to my most basic instinct, “hmmm... that band looks cool.” I want this thread to be an open brainstorm, it doesn’t have to have a “specific” goal, I like to delve into the psychology behind why the band holds so much sway but we can talk about anything. Tell me about your favorite bands, or tell me about the time reaching for the new, cool cigar band bit you in the rear, heck we can even talk about your favorite cigars that never even get a band. It’s just always been a weird little thing that I think about... that little scrap of paper that, objectively, is the least important part of a good cigar yet like every other piece of powerful advertising has muscled its way to the front of my purchasing consciousness.
