I'm not super familiar with this type of packaging, so it could be attributable to that, or the lighting in the photos, but the head on the cigar in the OP from the Mexican duty-free looks suspiciously round to me.
Ok, here are the side by each comparisons.

I wouldn't worry, based just on my observation. And that's only one small indicator of many that can be looked at to draw a conclusion.
The only way I know for sure to tell is to smoke 'em.
Smoked 'em. Cohiba had that rich characteristic Cohiba taste. Complex, good depth, nice finish and good burn. Montecristo, marginal burn, flat flavor, single dimensional, and uninteresting. The wrapper on the M3 did had some veins. The big thing to me is that the flavor wanted to make it through but did not show itself, as if, it was underhumidified at some point and brought back to moistness. Just my impression, but the Sig II showed some real, characteristic flavor, and the M3 was marginal at best.
DD LMK what you think.
