Sometimes, in restaurants, you get your silverware wrapped in a napkin, held together by a paper ring. The adhesive is stronger than a post-it note, and they definitely seem big eough to wrap around a cigar.

Anybody with connections to the restaurant industry have a lead on where to get these, and if they are cost effective compared to the fancy cigar bands?

PS: Group buy?

I do have connections and Im going to the warehouse today. Im sure I have to buy TONS of them, so maybe we can get a few people into buying them? I'll grab some if I see them.

Re: How do you label your cigars?

Also thanks for that template! Do you know what the dimensions are? Like If I want to label a petite corona, would these work?

I use something similar in Excel and find these work for 30-56 RG equally well.

Re: How do you label your cigars?

Is it the same template? Or similar? I dont use excel ever and I dont know how to tell the size. Are there like rulers I can click to show on the screen ( similar to photoshop ) so I can see the size?

My labels are about 3/4 x 3 1/4 inches, 26 to a page, works out to less than a penny a piece by my guess. 3 lines (manufacturer, brand and when/how received).

I found an online place that had them for about $14 for a pack of 2000 (for the napkin rings)

1" x 3" at the cut lines, but text usually only takes up a 3/4" wide area in the center of the band.

Should be fine for a petite corona, maybe you have to trim the flaps a bit more. You'll figure that out pretty quick once you test fit the first label.

Probably about the same for these.

Not the same template, but they are similiar. I think you can put up rulers, but I don't see the point in them for this as text is centered, so you can just trim the flaps if they are too long.

These are 1" x 3", 20 per page, 4 lines per band.

I start mine text on the left and start the roll on the right. No extra cutting required for smaller RG. :)

Very impressed at your cleanliness and organizational skills. I do not think i have the patience to make labels though... But if i did, i'd use your method.
