Blank cigar bands

[BlindedByScience]

I found Bob’s email again and have reached out to him. I’ll see what he says. I got the feeling he was a little miffed at me last time in 2018, feeling like I wasted his time.

Hopefully, he responds.

If he doesn't, I can try. We swapped mail at one point, seemed to get along passably.

Ok. If he doesn’t respond to me, I’ll let you know.

I think I can make them work... but yeah, some scotch might help. Tape too probably.



Mine are brown paper bag color.. did some of us get different ones?

I bought a different brand as well. Same as mentioned already though with glue and size issues.

Those look good and have almost all good reviews. Did you end up ordering yet?

Online Labels! Can’t remember why, but I do remember they weren’t up to my standards for some reason. I remember the other thing was that it’s a pain to try to only expose just a small amount of the adhesive like the OG ones we all liked do.

500 bands for $9 <<<<< Link


Okay, here is some bottom line info:

1. I wrapped a RG Panatelas Extra which is 36 ring gauge and the glues matched up. You may want to cut the excess off but it will stick.
2. I wrapped this Undercrown Shade Toro tube, because I didn't have a cigar of huge ring gauge, and the glue did not touch the cigar.
3. In both pics you can see the line I drew where the glue was on the under side.
4. They stick very well, I had a hard time unwrapping the one I did last week.

These will work great for 98.263% of the applications I would ever have. For $9, if they don't, I will make something for that once a year circumstance.

So, on those ones the glue doesn't have to hit the other glue to stick? It sticks to the paper too?

No, the two glues must touch. What I showed was that they would touch/stick with small ring gauge, and that the glue would not touch the cigar on a large ring gauge.

Pretty universal.

Those are the same ones I got, but I went white. I didn't not have the same results, weird.

If you want some of these Jeff and I have I'll mail you a hundo or two. Can't be more that a few bucks to mail. See if they work better for ya.

The glue doesn't match up on the thin ring gauge at all. When I get home I'll put one on a RGPE and see.

I double checked to be sure. I marked where the glue started on each side and you can see they overlap by about 1/2 inch. I cut off about an inch so it wouldn't be flapping.

Yeah, the glue doesn't match up on mine. Must be a different size?



ETA: Nevermind, I guess the glue barely touches. Doesn't want to stick though.

Ok, apparently 3rd time is the charm. Just needed to press a little harder and it was nice and tight. I think these should work pretty well for anything the size of the PE or bigger, assuming they don't come loose in the humi. The montecarlo was just a little too thin.
