So what’s your thoughts?

Footbands stink. Too hard to remove. And then, you often don't have a band to put your fingers on while smoking, so the wrapper eventually tears where you hold it.

Really, the addition of footbands is probably the only the they could do to Olivia Vs to make them even worse.

I gently agitate the foot band with my finger to see how ready it is before I really go after it. Sometimes you just have to be patient, your efforts will eventually be rewarded.

My first thought when I saw the topic was it was going to be a discussion of those socks or some ace bandage like thingies for old people that have circulation issues with their feet... those compression sock thingies.

Then I figured out you are talking about cigar bands on the foot of a cigar.

Does the cedar wrap and/or the ribbon found on some cigars (like some of the Fuente and the 5 Vegas) fall into the foot band category? Other than the cedar wrapped cigars, the only foot band cigar that I can think of off the top of my head is the RP Edge and some of the 5 Vegas.

So my vote would be "What are foot bands?" (confusion on the title of the post) or the non offered choice of "It doesn't impact me either way." I usually remove the band before lighting no matter if it's at the foot or up near the cap.
