The most beautiful/elegant bands are the NC San Cristobal line - The colors in the Macaw, the embossing, the gold... just a work of (imo) . The sombremesa I had this AM is sweet and I've always liked the similar La Imperiosa band as well. Love some of the artwork on the EZ/CFed stuff too.
@Tombstone is the king of finding badass bands - from Valkyrie to Machine-gun toting chicks!
