Three banded cigar??? Really???

SleevePlz

Lol, has cigar presentation jumped the shark yet??? Don't get me wrong, I think the presentation is visually appealing, but do I want to deal with three separate bands to smoke the dang thing?

If you really find it all that difficult you can sen them to me. It looks like there are 4 bands.

The only thing they care about is: are you compelled to buy it? Bands have intrigued me from the start as I seem more attracted to some than others. Packaging is a big part of marketing and I guess cigars are no different.

Absolutely! I'll be the first to admit that I collect my old bands and have them on display in a vase by the bar. I'm a huge fan of the history/artistry/creativity/etc that goes into many of the cigar bands that we all love. I really think this cigar has overdone it, however. Hell, the footband simply has the name of the cigar on it, which also appears on the other two bands! I wouldn't mind as much if it was one huge band. Two bands can be necessary when using a standard band plus an additional identifying band, but three is just overkill.

Presentation is the name of the game. If you have three bands, a non regular smoker will say "These must be good if they have three bands!" As long as they don't use a ton of glue, I don't mind...I like it. The visual aspect if the first part of our ritual. Followed by some/all/none of smell, feel, etc etc.
