Reverse Wrapped Band

[Argus17]

I've smoked probably 7 - 8k cigars. Without even thinking, when I get close to the band, I hold the cigar in my right hand with the ash pointing away, feel for the band overlap with my left index finger, and peel it off with my left index finger and thumb.

Yesterday morning I was smoking my first in many years, a DE Tabak Especial (boring, mild smoke BTW). When I went to remove the band, I couldn't find the overlap. Switched hands, and found it with my right index finger. The band was wrapped backwards from every other cigar I can remember. I checked a couple others I had, and the bands where wrapped the same way. I don't know if this is the way Tabak Especial bands are done, or if a new employee just happened to wrap them wrong on the ones I have.

Anyone else remember a cigar brand with the band wrapped backwards from the way 99.9% of them are?

yes, this is random as hell, and more than a little compulsive, but i have noticed from time to time. damned if i can remember what lines, though.

Certain brands make this impossible (Intemperance, for instance) by putting a rounded tab on one side that indicates the end to overlap the other. Never really noticed otherwise... I assume it's a lefty/righty cigar roller thing.

Just had a cigar the other day with the same deal.....funny how we just don't notice things like that until it is right there in front of us. I'm ambidextrous so it doesn't matter but it is an odd thing to see how some manufacturers will do it differently.

I've never noticed. I just get mad at the ones that won't come off and tear. I had a headley grange band that would not come off. Tore that sucker. Made me mad
