I tried to do that a few times. I usually mess up the cigar. The wrapper tears, makes a mess. I don't really think about or pay attention to the bands now.
i pull them off before i light the cigar. i find the seam and pull the band apart. the band goes into my wallet for a week or so till it is flat. then into a cigar bag for storage.
I am also a bit OCD about getting them off in ring form. It usually helps to let the cigar warm up a bit, helps the glue release. I've got a pretty big stash by now...guilty of the ring thing a few times too :^P
