Other brands that come to mind have bands and logos that are very similar to the CC's of the same name. Maybe further effects of protecting that flagship?

Yup, I remember those...and some can still be found along beaches and jewelry shops in Jamacia, Cozumel, and the DR. Its fairly easy to identify them, their boxes have glass tops.



Habanos spent a lot of money in courts defending their trademark, and in the end DR Cohibas now have that ugly ass black, white and red band (I think they are called "Red Dots" if Im not mistaken. That might have something to do with Altadis owning both the DR brand, and a 50% share in Habanos SA.
