Can anyone give advice on this box?  Everything looks right to me except for the clasp, the taino head looks stretched out but underside does have that german manufacturer stamp on it so I am not sure.  I unwrapped one of the bands and it did have the 2 squares illuminate towards the end of the band.

If those are fake, they've got me fooled.  I don't see anything obvious that would have me concerned.  Did you try one?

Not yet, I was just looking at the clasp and it looked strange.  Letting them rest before trying one.

I think those look pretty damn good. I had a box of 19 CoLa where the clasp was a little rough looking. Scratched and stuff. So I think it’s probably a case of ‘Cuba being Cuba’

I don't see anything that would worry me here. The taino head on the clasp I've seen look like that--in fact that's pretty standard to my recollection of other boxes.

The clasp looks legit, except for the distortion of the head image. But it may be a distortion of the photo.

Here is the original:

Otherwise, the main thing is a reliable seller. Because fakes now are of very high quality, until you smoke, you will not understand. I also advise you to take a microscope and view the micro codes of the warranty seal and bands microprint.

The warranty seal micro print matches it was just the clasp that looked odd, that is what it looks like it is not a distortion 🤷🏻‍♂️.  Going to smoke one next weekend and update you guys.

Those aren’t dark, I have seen and have legit darker wrappers than that

That’s good but I actually prefer the lighter wrappers myself and have seen light ones like this before.

I've seen the Taino head squished a little bit like the OP on legit boxes. I would chalk that up to manufacturing variations. I'm pretty sure this box is legit too so we can confirm it.
