Its really hard! lol

Wait until they are about to burn, the glue will loosen a little and come off a bit easier.

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.

I'm saving my talent for you Justin!

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.
