Just seems to me that if all cigar makers would just put a simple band on their sticks and maybe stamp it with their logo, they could save a boat load of money and cut the cost of the sticks by 1/3-1/2

Anybody agree or do you like all the fancy bands??

some use simple bands as their marketing and it works for them.

some use super fancy bands, and that works for them.

whatever they can do to sell cigars, the bands are by far the cheapest part of the manufacturing process

Agreed, just dont see much sense in it.

Ok, I'm done complaining...carry on🍺

Best simple band? The plain 1/2" tall black lettered high gloss white one that Jesus Fuego uses on his 777 line, or the 3/8" tall one that Nick Perdomo uses on his Patriarch.

Padron x000 line. Simple straight forward band, packaging, and marketing. Consistently consistent and a reasonably priced line of sticks that lets the smokes speak for themselves. I've never had a bad Padron.

Sounds like you've done your homework...still dont see how that can be the cheapest.
