Hi AJ, and welcome to the asylum.

Actually, that is one of the purposes of the band! lol Believe it or not. I have had some dog rockets that had a great looking band! Take the Acid cigars for instance. I bought one not knowing that it was a flavor infused cigar and nearly jumped out of my skin when I put it into my mouth!

I have also had some killer smokes with some of the most conservative bands on the market!

But to answer your question, yes I have. Guilty. But no longer. I look at the whole cigar now. The wrapper and construction are more indications of whether I will buy it or not.
