Even after a quick inspection of this band it's easy to see it's a fake. The gold borders around the logo and the gold bars that extend out from the centerpiece are noticeably inconsistent. In the centerpiece, the raised paper in the gold coins and in the shields is terribly misplaced. You may also notice that the "ia" in "Cia" is not underlined. This may lead one to think it's fake, but, as some Partagas bands feature a period after "Cia," it could merely be a discrepancy or sloppy printing.
