Re: band or no band
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I have heard some say it is snobbish to leave the band on, and it should be removed.  I have heard that supposedly apocryphal story about the "white gloves" need for bands in the first place.  I agree that sometimes the wrapper can be damaged when one removes the band, and I also agree that the glue can often soften once the cigar has been smoked for a bit. 
 
As for me, I'm not anal about it either way.  On, off, WTF.  As long as the cigar smokes fine, what do I care?
