I was just wondering how ya'll smoke your cigars, with or without the band. me personally i smoke withought band so i can smoke more.

I leave it on so the heat warms the band glue which helps to prevent wrapper tear
 
I leave the band on until about halfway down. then I delicately take it off. I then save them. You never know when your brother (who is a roller in a cuban cigar factory) is gonna send you some smokes :p

I like to smoke right through the band! ;) I makes for a better burn. If there are burn problems, just slide the band down to where the problem is and it helps straighten it out! No problem!!!

LMAO @ Horse!!!

With respect to banded cigars (as opposed to banned members :sign: ) I remove the bands 99.99% of the time.

Hey Floyd, ya gotta stop smoking them cheap cigars :D
I find I seldom if ever have burn problems with Havanas and I know Floyd is a fan of the dark side so like I said, your burn problems will almost all go away if you stick to a strictly Havana cigar diet ;)

Yeah--- what he said :p
 
i hold my cigars around the bands to keep my fingers from smelling funny. usually i smoke to the band then put it out.
 
I smoke them with the band on primarily because I can identify my cigar when I put it down and walk away to go get a drink, etc...at gatherings. once I get to the point where the band needs to come off to smoke the rest of the cigar that is when I remove it. The glue has a had a change to loosen up making it easier to remove.

In the event where I get an aged cigar that the band slides easily, I'll leave it until time to remove and slide it on wife's finger like a ring...:)

Have to keep the wife happy if I want to still enjoy cigars ....:)
 
If it's an aged stogie (or any loose band) I take it off right away so it doesn't slip around. If not, I'll light er up and remove the band as soon as practical without damaging the wrapper. I prefer band off...

I leave the band on until I have to take it off.
