I've seen some of the Bums use blank rectangular bands to keep track of the identity of their unbanded cigars. I've been meaning to do the same.
What's a good brand you're using or have used?
Any good alternatives that can be bought from a regular store?

I’m surprised you have had no responses to this. Following with interest.

I texted him. I used bleach free paper and glue sticks. I had access to a large paper cutter like they used in school.

These seem to be the only results when googling. Other cigar forum results come up too, and these seem to both have good reviews.
Anyone down for a split buy? Don't need 400-500 - maybe 50-75-100. Postage would be a simple letter stamp making it pretty cost efficient.

Didn't do so well in shop class or arts and crafts so something ready to go is best. I think the wife always hides my v- and straight cutter is fear of me putting an appendage in the hole.

Which hole are you talking about?

I would be down for 100.Any opinion on brands above? I'll put the order in soon.
At least two more slots open for 100 bands if anyone is interested.
cheaphumidors didn't see any on your site, but do you carry blank bands like in the links?

I have printed my own on regular printer paper. I have a Word template set up where I can place brand, any logos if I want/can find, and automatic date.
I cut using a paper cutter or scissors. My template has cut lines.
I used a glue stick to adhere them to themselves after wrapping the cigar.
I have shared the file via link. Feel free to use as you wish.

Some of the fonts may not show up as I sometimes downloaded specific fonts for the cigar.

Kenco seems to be the most recommended from when I posted this question on several forums a while back

500 bands came in today. Looks like pretty nice quality, but we'll see how the hold up in the tuppie around some sticks.
Kinda figured they'd come stacked. But, was hoping they'd be broken into 100 ct bundles - but not at all an issue.
Fast response and shipping from Heartfelt Industries. Very happy with my first purchase through them.

You might get exactly 250. Might get a bit more. Might get a bit less. Who knows?! Will try not to shorten it, but...yeah, this'll be fun counting through[emoji1787].

Don't lose any naps over $7, man. Josh wants in on the split now that I've shown the goods. Guess what I'll do is eye the split into thirds. Should go out Tuesday.
