Eye-candy wrappers and packaging

[ZippoGeek]

@herfdog 's post about his Japanese firecracker a few minutes ago has inspired me to start a thread on the best-looking packaging you guys have seen on a cigar (or box of cigars):


What are some other eye-candy wrappers and packaging you've seen? I'll get it started; my favorite band to date would be the Ave Maria line. I love pretty much all of them:

You start a lot of threads.

Sorry...got a lot of time on my hands these days!

Most of the Leaf By Oscar are on my list of great wrappers.
Sorry only have a photo of one opened on my phone

Took one of a webpage

wasn't judging, just stating facts. I think your participation is great and the threads are helpful.

I am really drawn to the simplicity of Illusione's bands. I am particularly partial to the "68" for sentimental reasons ... even if I am unsure of the cigar itself lol.

I can't think of a box I am particularly enamored with...

*EDIT* Oh wait - I really liked the box my MOW Puro's came in.

In my short time smoking, I'll agree with @Wicket about the Leaf by Oscar being the best packaging I've come across.
But dang @jonboy, those are some real fancy packages.

The H&H did have some pretty cool packaging.

I'm pretty partial to the Liga Privada No9, which I think has about the best aesthetic of all time. Logo, band execution, box design... all of it is excellent.

Another one I find to be really appealing is the Caldwell Long Live the King. The artwork and design is very modern, but the presentation is fairly classic. It's a great mix.

I'm also partial to the Cuban Partagas look. I love the simplicity of the red and gold bands in a hinged Spanish cedar box, it's the perfect mix of classic cigar aesthetic:

And the Las Calaveras. What a home run there. Another one of my favorite presentations of all time.

I like the T52 also

i agree

 

[herfdog]

I like allac bradley' case looking boxes (sorry no pics I don't own any of them boxes)

I like my father's bands such as the flor de las antillas.

I too like the ave marias

But my favorite do far is that room 101 that I'll likely frame once smoked...

(See first pic in OP)

This^^^
Every year the Tatuaje Monster dress box SHOULD make the top 10, but I was less than impressed with the Jekyll this year as compared to the last few before it.

I could care less about boxes but I liked the Master Collection 1&2 boxes by Room101 that came out.

As far as bands go, I dig the La Sirena, HdM CC and La Aroma de Cuba bands.

 

[sofc]

i agree

Me too.

I think Leaf by Oscar really takes the cake, it's one of the few that I really didn't care to read reviews, I was sold on the idea and presentation...then I read the reviews before I clicked buy.

Foundry has great presentation but I haven't bit because I've never heard anything good about them.
