    Smokable cigar bands

    Apparently La Gloria Cubana (NC) are now producing cigars with smokable bands made of tobacco leaf:

    Smokable Cigar Bands from La Gloria Cubana | Cigar Aficionado
    http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfeatures/show/id/16688
    If you’ve ever smoked a cigar down to the nub, you’ve probably burned your fingers trying to peel off the paper band before it went up in flames. Maybe you didn’t even realize that the band was burning until it was too late. The new La Gloria Cubana Trunk Show cigars address this problem in a practical and creative way—smokable bands. At this summer’s IPCPR trade show, General Cigar (owner and producer of the La Gloria Cubana brand) unveiled its limited-edition Trunk Show Collection, which featured two different cigars with two different types of smokable bands. Created by Team La Gloria’s Yuri Guillen, the YG-23 is a 7 inch by 60 ring cigar that comes dressed with a swatch of homogenized tobacco leaf (HTL) as its band. Because the La Gloria logo is stamped on the HTL with a non-toxic vegetable dye, the smoker can safely puff his cigar down to the nub without ever having to remove the band. Only 500 rustic boxes of the Liga YG-23 were made. | Cigar Aficionado


    So do you think that this is forward-thinking and innovative or just a pointless marketing exercise?
    If you want a midget to look like a baby, don't put a cigar in his mouth.

    I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

      Seems a shame to me, i like to keep the bands, I bet those would be more liable to ripping if they come of at all...

        I reckon that one of the forum members who have rolled their own cigars should buy a load of these and collect the bands until they have enough to roll a cigar with nothing but bands as a filler!

            Most of the cars I like are completely pointless (except Lamborghini's, which usually are pointy), so pointless is good!

            I like the idea a lot..

                very rarely leave the band on, unless it's stuck to the wrapper
                think lucky and you'll be lucky
