It is more than 10 years old. I friend of mine that used work in the industry (store manager for a chain of cigar stores in the southeast) gave it to me. He said he thought it is cuban because of the darker band. It may just be that it has a lot of years on it. He had been out of the industry for 5 or so years when he gave it to me and that was five years ago.
