The clean, crisp order of an authetic H. Upmann band is striking. The metallic gold has a medium luster, with a high sheen. The lettering, clear and centered in the middle, is flanked by two clear laurel leaves. The center design is thin and precise, as are the dots running along the border. The ornamental quality of the detail on either side is sharp, with a raised bar bordering the entire centerpiece and about two-thirds of the sides.
