The claim it's the exact same cigar, just different packaging, so I'll take the chance and believe them at $40
I really think these were intended for refill unless it is indeed a gimmick for/by CI. The regular 1968 boxes do not look like these at all so I don't think it was an 'accidental' printing on the box. Famous has the regular boxes on sale for $60... and I bought one a couple weeks before CI ran the $40 special. Needless to say I had to buy one from CI too as these are tasty
