Just FYI wearing white gloves after Labor Day is a fashion faux pas.
We're going to need a bigger humidor

Quoting wikipedia here but I thought this was the origination of the band...
"cigar historians credit Dutch-born cigarmaker Gustave Bock with the invention of the cigar band in the 1830s, when he ordered paper rings with his signature on them placed on every cigar intended for export to Europe.[1] In this way, an indication of quality and prestige would be lent to Bock's products, he believed."
Anyhow, I leave the band on to have something to hold on to. The idea of a sweaty last third of a cigar isn't very appealing to me.

I leave mine on until I have to remove it.
One game in Utah, Jordan dunked on John Stockton. Jazz owner Larry Miller yelled "pick on someone your own size." On the next possession he dunked on 7'1 center Mel Turpin and shouted "he big enough for you?"
When told that Clyde Drexler was a better three-point shooter than him, Jordan responded "Clyde is a better three-point shooter than I choose to be." Then he hit 6 threes in game 1.

I tend to leave them on. There have been times that I cracked the wrapper a bit or cut a wee bit too much of the cap off, and some clever moving of the band keeps things together and smoking fine.
I also smoke alone 99% of the time, so showing off or seeing what others are enjoying is of no concern to me. I simply leave it in case I need it, and remove it when the burn dictates it is time.

I leave the band on. That way I know what I'm smoking. I get forgetful and need a reminder. That is why I always go around wearing a name tag.

If the band slides off, I take it off. If it doesn't slide off, I wait until the band warms up enough to easily pull off. I have had too many sticks mess up a wrapper because it was "glued" to the wrapper. I do not ever leave the band on to flaunt.

After all my white gloves got stained, I bought black gloves. Problem solved. And I keep the band on until I am into the second third of the cigar.

I only leave it on in two case- 1. I'm doing a review and will be taking pics or 2. It is glued odd and I want the heat to soften it so I don't damage the wrapper.
