Writing in band

[smokenj]

Ok, so I hung out with Jorge and Acidmase on Sunday and having a nice session. We were enjoying a few smokes a piece and randomly Jorge noticed that there was some handwritten lettering inside his, I think, Juan Lopez band. Off the top of my head I can't remember what the letters were, but has anybody else seen this? We were trying to think of what it could be, and the only thing I could think of was it was the branding from when the bands were stacked together waiting to be put on.

It was on an older monte tubo label from either 03-06 not sure of the year. Never have seen this before. The numbers are 3 50

I've had a few with numbers or indeterminate scribble inside the band. No idea of their purpose. I do have a RASCC box with a little mark on it that had the same/similar mark inside a few of the bands. I'll try to get a pic up when I return home

Never seen that on a cigar band. I did find this in a box on Padron '64 Exclusivo's which I thought was interesting. Barely sticking out in-between the outer box and cedar lining.

I have two boxes of Padron Family Reserves with that little factory info sheet inside. I've never seen writing on the inside of Cuban bands though. Maybe it's some factory/roller specific marker, but that's a complete guess.

Jorge, stop slacking and post a pic haha.

Actually, I've never really looked. I will take a look when I peel the bands off now

Those are usually in every box of Padrons.
