general cigar question for all...

So that leads me to ask, do you leave your band on when smoking or take it off? In addition, why?

Does anyone else feel like I just asked a test question?

Now I have to worry if my cigar band offends anyone? ROFLMAO!! I just posted my thoughts on how far we have gone down this "do not offend anyone" road in another post.

Now that I think of it the guys that smoke the really great cigars here would be offended if they saw what I smoke. I'll take the bands off from now on guys I sure don't want to offend you.
