band or no band

I'd guess it's a matter of personal preference. I leave the band on. I don't want to run the risk of ruining the wrapper trying to get the band off.

I like to leave it on for reference of how far I smoked, and just cause it looks cooler with it on lol

Take it off before ya burn it though!

If it's loose to begin with, I slide them off before lighting up. Otherwise I leave them alone until the heat loosens the glue enough to remove them without damaging the wrapper.

All things considered, most bands look nice but are something of a hassle. I'd just as soon not have them to begin with.

I think I only have a couple cabs left without bands.

This is my routine. I have torn too many wrappers pulling the band off before I needed to so now I tend to keep it on until I am just about smoking the thing.
