Where the band is on Cigars

[gnbikes]

I tend to leave the band on until it comes off easily. Box pressed cigars I normally take them off before lighting. I think that they "round out" more evenly with the band off.
Gifting a cigar means that I no longer own it. If the receipient wants to smoke only an inch, it's his cigar he can do whatever he wants with it.
