The most noticeable fault with this fake band is the paper stock -- it is too stiff. The color scheme is also a giveaway; the yellow background is too light, almost a cream color, and the gold border of the centerpiece and the lines extending from the center are very flat. In a certain light, the gold has an almost olive color. The centerpiece is too detailed, which may very well throw off the suspicious smoker because a discerning eye might misconstrue quality detail for a real cigar. Not this time, however. The font of this fake band's words and the image of the carriage are all too crisp.
