Are these real Cuban Monte Cristos?

[grateful1]

100% fake....Cubans never come wrapped in the plastic like that (and no, it is not done by the retailers either).

These cigars may be fake,xxxxxxxx several boxes from an indisputably legit merchant that were shrink-wrapped by the merchant before shipping. xxxxxxxxx.

I'm not sure you want to admit to that on the internet.

Some may say who cares...some may be concerned.

These cigars may be fake, but I bought several boxes from an indisputably legit merchant that were shrink-wrapped by the merchant before shipping. I have since stopped using this merchant for reasons unrelated to quality or authenticity of product.

I stand corrected. This is the first I have heard of vendors doing this. I should have been more clear though in my original post. That kind of wrapping looks as if it is sealed at a factory...not merely wrapped and taped up. The packaging shown in the photos looks like the kind you would see on a DVD, not a hand-applied wrap.

Exactly what I was trying to say, I just wasn't specific enough I guess.

Shrink wrap machines are fairly commonplace these days.
