If these are legit I would guess they are NC. There is the absense of any seals or warrenty's, the litho is of General's logo, and there is the "Warning: products contains .... that causes cancer in California"

I could be very wrong though.

I agree. Tried the cuban cigar website and it had nothing about these sticks. Plus googling Dunhill Seleccion Privida Ramon Allones Box does not yield any results related to the cigar advertised. In fact, I am relatively sure that there are no RA Dunhill Seleccion Prividas. Besides, nothing about this indicates that its cuban; the glass tubes are a dead give away.

The above comment is correct. These were produced some time ago, along with a lot of other N/C brands, under an agreement between General & Dunhill. They are Non Cuban cigars, likely produced with DR tobacco. I have a smaller box that is a bit older, I think. I guess thinking about it, my box might have just come from a different state than California. Not necessarily before the health stickers were mandated, as I was assuming. Beautiful piece but not worth near $500

The Dunhill "branded" cigars that I have are all substantially better than other cigars of this era. I don't have traditional RA and Dunhill RA to compare to but rather just 20y/o N/Cs compared to these. The Dunhills consistantly out perform. The best I have are from a brand called "Montecruz". These cigars now almost have the best pure vintage tobacco flavor I've ever gotten; N/C or CC
