1910 Punch Cuban Baseball cards- origination?

[canjond]

I posted this on the cigarette pack thread a few months ago, but I'm not sure it got a ton of views. In any event, after a few years of searching, I was able to track this down, which I believe may be (is likely to be) associated with the cards. This unopened pack came out of Cuba and has a full 1912 tax stamp. In addition, the "punch" name is offset by quotations - just like the cards. The size of the packaging width is also spot on to that of the cards.

I'd love to hear the thoughts of others, including the Cuban experts.

I believe they definitely came out of a pack setting. There is an album that exists with these cards as perviously stated. Beautiful cards and extremely scarce especially with the punch back as most were pasted to cardboard.

Thanks Henry and Leon.

Jeff - I'm not aware of a source of Cuban tax stamp info similar to the Springer's Guide for USA stamps for example. The Punch pack I have has a clear 1912 tax stamp (with no overprinting - if they even used overprinting in Cuba).
