Fisrt the density and color in the bands, Todays printing uses mineal pigment grown from natural resources, Print prior to 30's was dye based, Much higher tendency to fad, The foil stamping and metalic ink use back then would be very suspect too. To many indicators for much later technologies, not available to the cigar maker for that period. Some need to send a pic to the cigar box museum for verification

They look much older than 70/80's to me (the band, the shape (that's no celestial finos), and the other cigars in the box), maybe not 1910, but pre-embargo at least I think, definitely not sure though.

I have a 1926 cigar with foil wrap, so I wouldn't discount it based on that...

Not to hijack the post, but I posted this photo in the Habanos forum some time ago, but this is a special four pack of Bolivars from 1956 for Nat Sherman.

Yes, they are for sell.
