Counterfeit purchased in Mexico
The clean and crisp details that mark an authentic H. Upmann band are absent here. The lettering and the graphics lack precision. The embossed border around the centerpiece and along the sides is barely raised. Most obviously, the design bleeds off the right flank of the band, unlike the genuine article.
