Great site and excellent example but it should be noted that more times than not, the three rings are not as perfect as pictured here. Often times the three rings/lines are all over the place (for a lack of a better description).

Note: though the hand rolled cubans have the triple cap (I assume machine made cubans don't), there are some NC that have them too...

Lack of a triple cap means you're 99.9% sure it's not a hand made cuban (hey one's gotta by now and then on a handmade product!)

Presence of triple cap means it could be a cuban
