Very valid possibility there.

Another possibility is that it's not even a "real" brand, and was something that was created for the show so that the cigar could have a band without having to pay licensing royalties to any cigar company. This actually happens quite often, where product names/logos are modified or completely obliterated to avoid having to pay out.

Also, this is David Lynch we are talking about, and he has been known to often use obscure little references and symbolism with objects and items in the background, so who knows, maybe the band on the cigar was something he created to have some hidden meaning.
