Do not assume that if your quills are round rolls, like cinnamon quills, they are cinnamon, ie; True or Ceylon Cinnamon. Here is a photo of a bag of "Cassia Vera 3" I saw in Sri Laksmi Groceries at Wentworthville on Thursday and a link to what Herbies has to say about Cassia Vera. The 3 refers to the length of the quills being 3" long I believe. They are not the semi-circular outer bark as expected with Cassia Bark.

I was able to buy some "Cassia Bark" which was actually again labelled as Cinnamon Sticks.

Agreed. As far as I am concerned, the most obvious characteristic that one should look for when attempting to purchase true cinnamon is the delicacy of the bark that constitutes the quill — true cinnamon will have very delicate bark, almost like parchment; cassia will have coarse bark, 1/16" thick or more.
