Rebanding Select Smokes

[gawntrail]

I received a few smokes in the mail recently. And, to my surprise, they were naked. A few days later, Voila......the bands showed up.

I'm wondering what glue to use to re-band, and are the re-banded cigars the same value in passes, trades, etc. as those that have not been?

I'm thinking to MAYBE send some of these out, but I'm not sure yet.

Thanks for the input.

I just use a non-toxic Avery glue stick

As long as they are what you are banding them as :sign: :sign: :sign:

Pectin. Can be found at your local supermarket; it's used for canning jelly and such. Completely non-toxic, edible, burnable, etc.

So, you're saying I can't band my braided pipe with a Partagas Serie D #4 band?

Come on now........what fun is that?

Thanks for the gluestick idea. My kids have one they use for school, just a swipe on the overwrap end and then line it up right?

I ask about the value because the bands have been folded and the creases are very apparant. The color has even 'flaked' off at some of the creases. I'm not looking to sell them, but would like to pass them or trade them and would want to make sure their value is right.

New to the game, so I want to make sure i know what's going on.

That's about it. If you are going to gift or pass some just try to do it with the best looking bands and you should have no issues

Personally I couldn't care less if they're banded, unbanded or rebanded. Others may feel differently though. A lot of my favorite smokes come in 50 cabs without bands anyway although rumor has it this is all about to change.

I use gluestick, when its called for. For unbanded cabinet cigars, I make my own bands and gluestick them on.

Bands? Bahhh :sneaky: Before I smoke a cigar, I remove the band

Paper tastes funny

If you need to put them on, get some Post-It glue sticks. Works fine.
