STOP smoking the bands MIKE!

Mine came right off all of the higher end or nicely aged Opus.
Visibled glued to the wrapper. I had no choice
THat can't be healthy lol. Not like smoking cigars is healthy anyways but I feel like smoking bands would be hazardous in some way?
A normal band is probably no more than paper and soy ink. The opus band has that gold flake that is unknown. Once the band starts charring it at least slideable without tearing the wrapper and they are so low I'd be pitching a third of the cigar. I refuse to waste anything that good.

There are no obstacles in my world.

I got this padron at a nearby B&M; in their liquidation bin. It is the first time I ever saw a cigar liquidation bin. The cigars were good looking so with some inspection I decided to try one.

From reading online the Padrõn churchill maduro "can use some aging" ... well as the yellowing cello shows those have been aging for a while at the store.



Tasted great. The last third revealed peperry spices. That cigar would stay lit even if left unattended for some time.

Very enjoyable.
