The signature DOES resemble other known signatures available online and the Certification Number comes back to The Beard. 🤷🏼‍♂️

But that box code?

What could go wrong with an authenticator based out of NJ and Ft. Lauderdale?

Code is correct for El Laguito in 2004. This style of box is still produced for VIP gifts.

Castro is known to have frequently signed boxes over the years. In 2004 he was still active, travelling, meeting people etc. I don't have any expertise in signature analysis, but it seems enough like his to me.

This is one of the most commonly counterfeited boxes in the world, but the box printing all looks fine, without any of the common signs of counterfeit examples of these. There are plenty of good counterfeits out there these days though. There is nothing particularly complicated about the design.

So... in conclusion, who knows. I don't see anything wrong with it, but would like to see a letter from whoever received it telling the story, preferably with a photo of Castro handing them the box.

Be a lot more fun if there were some sticks in the box!

I have two cabs of Fundadores with that same code. Unfortunately, they just don’t make them anymore.
