Old Cohiba question

[Smokemorestressless]

It is always been my understanding that Cuban cigars do not come wrapped in cellophane. Unless, they are put in cellophane by the vendor selling them.
Edit: just like the glass top boxes, they are ALL fake.

The old diplomatic Cohiba cigars, and a few older Cubans come wrapped in Cellophane. I don't believe any modern ones do.

Unfortunately, with the way the bands are placed, and how the pigtail is wrapped, I would have an "educated guess" that these are not real. They do look really old and probably would be very good to smoke.

Da box.

Any idea what the year on those were supposedly?

ETA: Or, are these the 80's ones from your OP?
