any quality print shop can make one.
i work on vintage guitars and they usually silk screen the logo so if you remove the finish, you lost the logo. the mfg will not help you because they do not trust you so you have to think out the box.
what i do is find a usable image off the net and scale it and from that i can deduce the logo size and have a print shop make a negative or reverse image of it and then i use that as a mask to put the logo back. is it exact, hummmm, close enough for the cigar.
