Again, this just seems a patently silly assertion to me. It's like saying, "Mariah Carey didn't actually sing on her last record; it was Bruce Springsteen, impersonating her."
Um... WE'D HAVE NOTICED!

I don't think we disagree as to use, maybe it's just how we come to the same conclusion? There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Where we may disagree, I don't think it would be so obvious and certainly not silly. Looks alone, I've seen all sorts of Cuban and CT wrapper. Much of it looks the same. As to smell and taste, well, that's a horse of a different color. Then there's the argument as to how much flavor the capa contributes to the overall flavor of a cigar. Some argue inconsequential, some the other end of the spectrum. I haven't formed a consistent opinion myself. I haven't had the interest to drill down into it.
