Only factories I ever saw on Partagas Piramides were: OSU, PAS, ECA, SUA, and SCO.

I'll add PEL to that list.
The EL Piramides boxes I've seen also had a small cardboard insert with indentations to hold the heads and "secure" the cigars in the box. That may have been an EMS addition however.

How can you tell if the roller is right or left handed? What are normal rollers supposed to be?
I literally know nothing about this lol

Right vs left handed rollers means absolutely nothing. The cigars from several/many rollers are all combined together and then color sorted. The cigars that go into a box are determined by color, not who rolled them. I've had dozens, if not 100s, of boxes that include both...and never found a difference in how they smoke. I've also watched rollers spin the wrapper depending on which side of the leaf it is...in essence ambidextrous rollers.
Beware of people claiming fake based on pictures alone. Sometimes it's blatant...but sometimes what looks like a problem is a matter of lighting, incomplete knowledge, factory errors, type of storage, etc.
This is, by no means an endorsement of the cigars referenced. I don't know and don't care about their authenticity. At those prices I'll buy an entire box of better cigars :)

PS...I'd be more concerned that the Pyramids are about an inch short in the box...in the picture they look like belis put in a pyramid box. All of my '03 Hoyo Pyramids filled the box with barely enough room for a strip of bubble wrap inserted to protect from shifting and cracking in transit.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with what's been posted but first year ELs did not have a year shown on the EL band.
