Conterfeit?

Im station here in Iraq and so far some folks have told me theres nothing but counterfeit cubans here. I went to one of the cigar shop today at the base and purchased a Monte Cristo petit tubos. I ask the gentleman about the counterfeit issue of Cuban in Iraq and he handed me a brand new box of Cohiba Sublime and told me to open it. Inside was 3 piece of paper of authenticity ( wish I took pics of that)...The were also marking in the bottom of the box if I remember it says Cuba Habana S.A.
So i ended up purchasing a stick for about 6 dollars ( monte cristo) I been researching for a few minutes and everything seems to check out, or this could be a hella of a counterfeit. Please drop in and tell me what you think about this.





sorry for the crappy pictures.
