Hmmm... seems to remind me of the Cabinetta.

My feeling is we may see a lot more of these cigars in the next year or so...

Imitation is the best form of flattery. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

I def agree, we'll be seeing more of these as time goes on...

I am not surprised in the least.

Here are a couple things that are copies or rip offs.

Rocky Patel Edge (I believe these were out first)
Camacho El Legend-Ario
Altadis Omar Ortiz Original

General Cigar LGC Series R (out first)
Altadis St Luis Rey Series G

Oliva Nub(out first I believe)
Te-Amo World Selection 62 X 4 nubish

Proof is in the product as far as I'm concerned. You can market anything you want but discriminating people who know what their taste is all about will vote with their wallet. I don't much care for the politics of any cigar company but rather what their product tastes like. There will always be competition in the marketplace with company spokespeople in the mags peering out behind a stack of cigars yelling "Yippee" but it's sales hype. It isn't hype if you can back it up.
