Here's a place to rant about, or call attention to something in the cigar world that's been bothering you.

What's with the cigars that come with a huge wrapper? Examples: Latitude Zero, Alec Bradley Black Market...they hiding something?

By wrapper I assume you mean bands? Seems like they get bigger every year and second bands as well.

Snobs that say they can detect more than 4 flavors from one draw.

Big annoyance… people that can't use the proper term for a cigar band.

The wrapper is the outer leaf of tobacco that actually 'wraps' the cigar. 🤦

I think you are supposed to smoke 'em with the bands on. It adds a new non-cigar flavor.

^ Hah! You could be talking about me, Carl. I posted about two weeks ago about multiple cigar "rings" because I couldn't pull the word "band" out of my aging addled memory!

I hate a cigar that won't stay lit. Tobacco is supposed to burn but somehow some cigars or their manufacturers have figured out ways to make cigars out of tobacco that doesn't burn.

So much glue on the bands / wrappers / rings that it makes removal almost impossible with damaging the wrapper / leafy thing around the cigar.

Edit: should have been "...without damaging..."

Cigars that aren't tasty are the worst.

High priced cigars that claim to be rolled with premium aged tobaccos that taste no different, and sometimes worse, than $5 smokes....And then trying not to offend the guy who hands you one.

A guest who scrounges through your humidor, and asks indignantly, "where's the Kuba Kuba?"

Bundled cigars with a bar code stuck on the cello opening.

The drunk douche at the party, who I barely know, who saunters over to me while I'm enjoying a nice cigar with a friend or two, and asks:
"Hey man, can I have a hit off that?"
My response is always then same.............................

I'm guessing those are Liga's LOL!

The leafy thing wrapped around the cigar is actually called the wrapper. Some will say that over 50% of the flavor comes from the wrapper. For those that smoke the paper band and cedar sleeves YMMV. 🤦
