Yep....glued over the original band. From memory I think the Gov here want the plain band to remove/destroy the original band if someone tries to take it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glue used must be strong enough to destroy the original band if someone attempts to remove the plain packaging band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's been about a year since I last did it, but I have occasionally bought a single of a limited cigar of some kind (LE, RE etc) from either Alexanders or the LCDH in Melbourne. I have always found that the green band was paper, held at the back with sticky tape. Easy to remove by unpicking the tape, no damage to the real bands underneath, definitely no glue. If it was a double banded cigar sometimes they would have removed one of the bands presumably as the green label wasn't big enough to cover both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghabanos Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 This is so sad. I am moving to Toronto in the new year and have been searching the forum for places to smoke. Maybe a sill question, but are there private clubs for smoking cigars in TO? or places that a group of BOTL can share the rent on for private smoking?

Hammer Smokin' Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 In Canada we get leasehold. No citizen actually owns land. We lease it from the crown. So technically private property isn't truly private. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technically private property isn't truly private. I don't think that applies everywhere. Most of the land is owned by the crown/government state (like most countries) but I think the stat according to Wikipedia is that 11% of land is privately owned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_ownership_in_Canada https://www.squareone.ca/resource-centres/homeowner/fee-simple-ownership#:~:text=Fee simple or freehold ownership,duration%3B it does not expire. Edit: although from the same source Fun fact Thanks to the aforementioned British connection, Canadian landowners don’t technically own their land — they have “land tenure.” Land tenure sounds kind of feudal, but it’s not really different from outright ownership in practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Smokin' Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 any private land ownership in Canada would have been deeded before 1867. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in practical terms. I believe most private land in Canada is not leasehold, it is freehold (Fee simple). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fee_simple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allodial_title Now theoretically the crown may have some higher claim. But it amounts to the same as US private ownership, since even there the state can expropriate land (eminent domain), and collect taxes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
