Best Looking Cigar Bands / Boxes - Page 2

Gabe215 · 03-21-2014, 12:58 PM

I have to agree with Adam, Montecristo, Upmann, Partagas, RyJ, and HDM, (CC's) all have boring plain bands and they are my favorite Marcas and to not have smoked them because they don't have flashy bands and come in cardboard boxes doesn't make any sense since they are some if the best cigars around and are truly classics!! And as Bob said a lot of cigars I smoke like custom rolls don't even have bands! And if you prefer NC's everyone will point a newbie in the direction of Fuente and Padron (thousand series) which have boring Cubanesque style bands and they are great beginner smokes, at a great price point!

Like this thread.
Luscious rustic art, a grand cigar band and a sturdy box on Pinolero and Pinolero Maduro by AJ Fernandez. The maduros are delicious, but be patient. ROTB they have a sharp tang that mellows after a few months.

Comment on cigar bands, I have a small gripe about certain brands and their bands. Even though I really enjoy Illisione and Tatuaje cigars I would like some description of the cigar on the band. I might 'win' a few lots on the devil site, by the time they arrive, and acclimate for a few months I've down right forgotten just what the heck I was bidding on while drinking too much months earlier!

Just my little gripe, I do think the Montecristo's CC band looks pretty sharp with the gold inlay trim stuff. Besides Por Larranaga may be the best looking.

One of my all time favorite presentations...

Those boxes always remind me of a toilet lid, Mac.

The Ave Maria band is probably my favorite.

maninblack · 03-08-2014, 08:10 PM

Keep it on topic gents and take it to PM. If we're talking box presentation, I think the Tat monster series are some of the coolest in recent years.

I think the metal bands on the Macanudo Vintage 2006's are pretty sweet. Also the CAO Black boxes are pretty sweet

Sadden · 03-20-2014, 10:32 AM

No uber expensive ghurka boxes yet? Wtf guys?

Jk jk. I like the Oliva boxes. That red is so pretty.

mk05 · 03-20-2014, 11:03 AM

I am with senor dvickery. Nothing is quite like RyJ for box art, although Sancho Panza has really nice color schemes and patterns...too bad his face ruins the presentation!

As for the whole package including bands, there's something about the understated elegance of Davidoff. This one has a yellow sticker, so it must have been PSP.
