Does anyone know of a good way to remove Tat bands intact? I seem to suck at it.

Same here.
theyre almost as hard as removing actual tat's. but what everyone said before: wait til the burn line gets closer to the band.
I have hardly had any issues with removing tat bands. I roll the cigar with my fingers on the band before trying. That way I can make sure it's not glued to the wrapper. Then when the cigar is about 1/3 left I just peel up the edge and off comes the band. I must say for me specifically they're some of the easiest to remove bands. I actually don't remember one that was glued to the wrapper and though some don't come off perfect I tend to not have any issues getting good ones.

Yeah I get the occasional one that's like that but I tend to get them off no issues. I guess I'm special!

If I've an issue with a band I say f#$% it. I smoke with it on. Roll it as it smokes and heats up. That usually helps. And what praytell is wrong with a little buzz from the tiny bit of glue burning...if it gets to that point.

No band is more difficult to remove than LP, I've damaged a couple wrappers trying to get those suckers off.
+1 on the LPs...some of the Tats are a bitch too, agree with everything everyone else has suggested, also if you can slip it off the cigar over one of the ends (burning end a little trickier) you can sometimes attack it from the inside of the band which sometimes helps.

Same here. My most difficult by far has been an LP#9. Haven't had the problem with the couple Tats I've had.
Lp9 isn't easy but what about the Alec Bradley fine & rare? toughest band yet.
