Custom Cigar Bands
There are companies that will make professional quality cigar bands for you, such as Thompson Cigar and CF Dominicana, but you can also print your own labels right at home. However, if you want to give custom cigars as gifts to friends or business associates, I recommend using a professional service. To make a positive and lasting impression, authentic cigar bands made with the proper ink, paper, etc. are a must. Custom made cigars and boxes are also available.Make Your Own Cigar Bands
To make a personal cigar band for yourself, it is easy to create your own design on a computer, and print the band(s) on standard or colored paper, or even on standard labels such as Avery 5366. Other types of paper stock available at office supply stores can also be used. In addition, a nice selection of blank cigar band labels can be found at onlinelabels.com.Depending on your photo or graphics software, and your particular artistic skills, you should be able to create a simple cigar band without too much of a problem. Start by creating a blank picture file having a width of 200 pixels and a height of 39 pixels (this is the size of an Avery 5366 label). You can adjust the size, and print on any kind of paper, and cut to fit any size cigar. Once you have created the blank picture file, it is just a matter of adding text, graphics, photos, colors, etc. to the blank picture to create your own custom cigar band. Depending on your software, you should be able to print a single cigar band, or a whole page of the same band. You can also insert your finished image file into a Microsoft Word document, and print the bands from that program.
