Making your own cigar bands

What do you do cigars that are unbanded? How do you identify them if they are going for a rest? Do you make your own if so how? Thanks in advance.

Just picked up some unbanded ones and want to easily identify them. Anything other identifying them with a colored dot with name and date, especially if they are uncelloed?

    I've seen a lot of the blank bands being used around here specially on the Johnny O's.

    Or if they're all the same blend, loosely "bundle" them together with ribbon/twine/etc and stick a note in with the bundle.

    Or if the cigars are cello-ed --- just put a little sticker on the outside.

    Sticker works on cello. I put a piece if paper all the way around with a small piece of tape to hold the two sides together.

    what is the difference between a blank band and a piece of paper?

    nevermind, I googled it. Self adhesive.

    OHHHHHH...my thoughts exactly. Acid free paper (hope i've been using that). Still very curious about the heartfelt blands. How big is the adhesive strip? Is it a stong enough adhesive to tear a cigar wrapper?

    Oh I see we gots Momma Jokes flying up in here! Acid Free Paper is good to know. Heartfelt sells in quant. of 500 thats way too many seeing as unbanded sticks are only every once in a while thing in my humi. Stcikers and paper with scotch tape it is.

    I date all my cigars, just don't know if it would be worth buying them. I am very hesitant due to the self adhesive. What if you have a 60rg. Are they big enough that the adhesive would not touch the wrapper?

    I simply take a post-it note and cut it into three or four strips. Bottom to top so each one has adhesive at one end. They are the right size to wrap around most sticks, and cheap. I think I used some free ones from a vendor at work. Just didn't use the section with the logo.
