I don't agree that a large obnoxious band = bad cigar.
not say large equals bad but when la Serena came out I think they made those bands large to draw attention to them. La serena is a good point the band may have got your initial buy but if the cigar is bad you probably wouldnt be buying a box. I think for each option you mentioned there are couple others that had elaborate or fancy bands trying to polish a turd.

The Ava Maria line was like this for me. Gorgeous banding but the actual cigar never hit home. Funny enough one of the coolest bands I’ve seen recently is the Amazon Basin by CAO. Arguably the most simple you could possible wrap a cigar with and still very cool.

I love me some Ave Maria. Smoked two today. I will joke with you and welcome every ones opinions. The band drew me to the line but AJs skills keep bringing me back.

All in good fun. Admittedly I haven’t had an Ava in a long time and the last one I had came from a sampler so I’m sure it wasn’t their top tier smoke. I’m sure it won’t be long before I give ol’ Ava another go.

2 of em yesterday? Gurkha only knows what else you're hiding from me and the Bums.
Get your ass over to the "what'dya smoke today". I'll find ways "encourage" your participation ... which is mandatory when I'm around. With all due respect of course.

I will have to make a point one week to post up my full lineup of smokes.
