I've noticed that the national seals on bundles from various sites have often varied and someimes looked a bit cheesy. Then today, hunting for a new humidor on E-bay, I see this auction for 'reproduction' labels, gummed and ready to go. This one is obviously packaged for consumers, not vendors (see second picture, but it got me wondering...


If I were buying Cubans, I'd be very picky, but is forged origin a big problem for Nicaraguan and Honduran sticks from 'reputable' sellers? Do they vary by year and location or is there some central site I can go to see the 'real seal' for each country.

According to the item description, they are called "antique" cigar labels. Probably so people can slap one on so as to appear 'antique' for nostalgic reasons
