The BIL and wifey had us over to their place this evening and finally handed me the 'box of Cubans' he brought back for me...

The first clue...

no seal or hologram.
The second clue...

no factory or date codes.
The third clue....

paperboard sheet instead of cedar...
The sticks good pretty good for obvious fakes,

I'll dissect one tomorrow and see what the insides look like.
They look like they used the old Mille Fleurs boxes and the sticks are rolled to that gauge and length.
