BANDING
Cigar Bands, the "face" of the cigar, are delicately applied by hand and glued on using a natural vegetable gum.  However tedious, this process must be executed perfectly to honor the tobacco and its brand.
UN-BANDING
Un-Banding is the ultimate commitment and sacrifice to Quality Control.  Un-Banding occurs when the cigar fails to pass the Cigar Maker's final inspection and must be removed from the inventory.  A cigar that is Un-Banded is not worthy of the brand's face.
