general cigar question for all...

I heard that taking off the band was proper European etiquette. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall reading that somewhere.

I leave my band on until the last possible moment. That way it has time for the glue to warm up which allows me to remove the band w/o tearing the wrapper or the band.

Yeah, that's where I got this whole concept from. Proper English etiquette apparently says to take them off.
