Bands

[josh lucky 13]

Is it just me, or is the trend the last few years been for bigger and gaudier bands on nc's?
Almost seems like they are in a competition for who can have the largest or gaudiest bands.
Kinda turns me off seeing a really large, gaudy band on a Cigar. Just doesn't look very classy to me like small, simple cc bands are.

I remember when I got into cigars over 10 years ago. I felt intimidated going into a b&m because of all the cigars or even worse scrolling for days on ci. There was a brief time for about a year or 2 I didn't really buy anything and when I came back to cigars it had gotten worse. The trend is more cigars all sizes multiple blends. Some manufacturers need something to catch your eye and stand out. I don't fault them for that. Cubans live on their reputation they don't have the same struggles that nc have with dozens of new cigars every year. Besides doesn't matter what's around the cigar its the cigar itself that determines its value so don't judge a cigar by its band.
