Not mine, but saw the band and it looks off/cheap? I don't smoke many HdM, couldn't find a single one in the humi to compare, so could be fine, but curious what the experts say.

Nice cigar! These were copied from a trusted site.

DC's had a band with a white border, but nothing that pronounced. Looks pretty fake to me. Is that a tapered head like a Piramide, or is that just the camera lens doing that? The only recent history tapered heads in recent history I can think of is the Epicure No.3 and Tacos. Neither of which have that band design on them.

I was trying to tell the same thing, not sure.
 
Or they just cut the white backing too large. Impressive tooth's markings. But after starring several times, look at the hands and the items above the hands, a definite difference from the certified bands, or.... old dog with bad eyes. Also,just noticed left hand comes to the T-E verses the E-R. dang, someone please tell me what the verdict is.

This is old but whatever. Hard to tell without having it in hand, I have several counterfeit HDM samples with bands exactly like that. Again, hard to say without cigar in hand but the shape also looks a little funky with an uneven taper. The good news is this is from March, so if you don’t have mysterious spore colonies in your lungs by now it is probably fine.

Wasn't mine, so I'm good
 
I bought a few of these from a trusted Brother here a few years ago. Hydro for scale only

ETA: IIRC Double Corona.
