The Reserva band peels off pretty easily after being warmed up, but the brown Miami band seems to be affixed with super glue lately. So much so that the excess glue seems to have affixed the band to the wrapper more often. All purchases within the last 6 months seem to have this excessive glue.

Sure hope it's not like this with the 10th Anniversaries.

In general I've noticed that the browns, probably due to the plain non-glossy paper, seem to be more difficult to peel, but I've always seen differences in these from cigar to cigar in the same box.

Miami's, to me, have always been hit or miss on the band. I don't touch em till I have to, then they seem to come off pretty good. Shortly before they burn.

I do this with all of my cigars, seem to have less problems that way.

This explains a lot! 🤦

I have noticed it, and problems with the El Triunfador's too.

But as said above it seems to come off easier after smoking it for a bit then trying!
