My store has some unbanded sticks but I don't know if they're the store brand or not. There are several different vitolas and they come in natural or maduro. At only $3 a stick or so I don't know why I've not tried them yet. Well, it's probably because a Brick House, Don Tomas and CAO La Traviata are only a buck or two more and I know I like those. But I still should try the others too.
