Probably True, i went to the Graycliff Factory in Nassau about 3 years ago. on the tour i was able to ask lots of questions because it was only me and my wife. One of the questions i asked was how they handle so many blends and sizes from such a small location (only about a dozen rollers station and the day i visited only 6 in use) and i was told " we only make these" and the guide pointed to a shelving unit with packs of bands. it only had 5 or 6 different bands on it. when i asked about the other cigars in the line i was told that other makers roll them for the graycliff company. i didn't see any G2 bands and i believe the coffee cigars as well as the CI legends cigars are done else ware. Graycliff probably works to blend and then outsources the labor.
Side note, the tour and rolling class are great and i highly recommend it if you get to the island. since i was the only one taking the class i was given almost twice the amount of time/attention (and cigars) that i was told i would get when signing up but even without that it was a cool experience and i would probably do it again if i go back.
