Is this a Cuban Partagas box? Anyone guess how old?....

Hey folks!

A guy with a grocery-store humidor gave me this box a few weeks ago:




Is this a real-deal Cuban box?


It's just about perfect for a uke, I think, though it needs a little TLC.  There's no finish, to speak of, and a few places where it looks like wax has dripped onto it.  Some of the joints have come unglued, as well.


Info or suggestions?

    If I remember correctly, there would probably be some kind of tax stamp on the box somewhere but I may be wrong.

    Are they making counterfeit box's now? Probably not, so it must be real. Looks like a cigar box to me.
