I ended up with a box of Flares in 26.5mm they are the longer type much like a blue smoke round. There have a black ring at the base and discharge 3 flares with each shot, they produce alot fo black smoke. The box is wax sealed and has a grey stripe down the middle. Im thinking they are Czech because of the style of box?

What are they and where might I find a few more?

I bought some of those at Knob Creek. I was told by 2 vendors that the gray to black zigzag stripes on the boxes mean black smoke and that they are Czech made and newly imported.
