This is an ongoing dedate I have had with many people. Who leaves their band on? This is how I determine when or if to take it off.
I let the cigar burn a good inch or so before I try. Many times in my early years I would take it off too soon and tear the wrapper. I let the stick heat up a little to loosen the glue so I don't risk tearing it (wrapper).
I will leave the band on if I am in the yard working, so I dont get any sweat or dirt on the stick from my hands. I like to save my bands and write a little note about them in my log. That way, if I like the smoke, I know the characteristics of it if I want to buy more down the road. Otherwise, I really don't put too much thought into it. hehehe.
So, who here leaves them on??
