This is a real Cuban cigar band, but it was on the wrong cigar. The person who bought this in a hotel in Seoul bought a Hoyo de Monterrey Churchill. This legitimate band is for a smaller Hoyo, probably one that was made by machine. As in the case of many counterfeits, a legitimate cigar band was removed and then put around a fake cigar to fool the buyer. Hoyo de Monterrey Churchills have bands like the famous ones on the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona.
