    Diesel Shorty, Gurkha Shaggy, any Camacho, and San Cristobal come to mind off the top of my head

    Band or brand? Band, my favorite are the ones that come off easily and don't fsck'ing mess up the wrapper. I hate when there's too much glue and it just jacks everything up trying to take it off. As for brand, I'm really liking the Nica Libre, Don Pepin series JJ, Gurkha signature 1887 both red and black, graycliff espresso, pretty much anything that is medium bodied, lots of flavor, and smooth. Depending on my mood, I sometimes like a peppery (like bell pepper, not like black/white pepper) smoke, but not into the real spicy smokes yet.

    The Triple Maduro band is pretty awesome. Same with the GOF. Also like the look of the Alec Bradley SCR.

    Man O War bands! The Ruination out of them is my favorite. I really like the ISOM Cohiba bands as well.

    Ruination is cool, GOF is great. I really like the simplicityy of the thin illusione bands.
  • I really like the Padilla sig 1932 band a lot, but that could be because I like that cigar a lot as well: Padilla

    Well I really like the Don Pepin Blue band, the Monte's, the gurkha bands, and the Man o War Virtue. Silver and white is way cooler than gold and black. and the Liga Privadas are way cool too. They look custom.

    I tell you which ones I dislike......the ccom house blend labels, they're horrible......I think there should be a forum design contest or something to make those things look better. They make 3 dollar cigars look like 1 dollar cigars.

    I really like the look of the different Avo bands, I hate that too many have too much glue and are a pain to get off the cigar, classy bands for sure though.

    Favorite bands:

    Padilla Dominus
    MOW (all three blends)
    Graycliff Dbl Espresso
    AB Tempus

    I second the idea of redesigning the Ccom bands. Are there any BORKs on this forum that do graphic design? Maybe they can design a band for cigars?

    I liked the old CCOM blend bands too bad they changed em. Definitely like the ISOM Cohiba, San Cristobal, Diesel, Casa Magna,and the old Padilla Miami.

    I love the 601 bands. Dont care for the extra red on the bottom of the blue. Not sure if its always been there cause I have an old one without the red. JJ maduro band is cool. San Cristobal of course.

    I like the Padilla habano band a lot. The bright yellow/orange screams sweet n spicy habano. Patel Bros band is cool. I got more later got to dig through my stash of bands. Oh yeah Man O war are bad a**.
