I think the nicest band is the La Aroma de Cuba. Some of my other favorite bands include: Fuente Fuente Opus X, CAO MX2, CAO Soprano Edition, Sosa, and Padron 1964 Anniversary.

the Opus X and the Gurkha Class Regent lines are probably my favorites. And the Cuban Cohibas

Here's a vote for simple, as opposed to ornate-- in ccs I like the classic look of the Montecristo bands, and ncs I like the Padron bands (and their solution to counterfeits by putting the second band underneath the anniversary series). To each his own.

if by Hitler you mean a Gurkha warrior then yes
I didn't know what they were, but wikipedia has a good entry on who the Gurkha's were/are (not the cigar people)

I just remembered a few other ones. The Los Blancos bands are also big and attractive. They come in four different colors. The La Flor Dominicana is also attractive so is the new Bolivar and the Diamond Crown Maximus.

Just finished an Ashton. No fancy band there. But what a great smoke. So I ask you. Does it really matter..
