Blank Cigar Bands
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.

I can't be trusted around sharp things. 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.

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?
1. chain_gang (100 to leftovers)
2. old smokey (100)

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.

I do mine with a pivot table
No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !
