Think about it, if anyone could purchase bales of Cuban tobacco we should see all kinds of brands other than the official ones being produced.
Bingo!
Reason for the first major flag on these cigars.

While lots of tobacco gets stolen and rolled in the streets, generally, very, very poor quality.

Don't see how this guy gets these.

To E.J.'s point, who cares but one really does if that is what is being purported to you.
If all followed the logic of who cares where they are from, heck, I can send you tons of boxes of fake Cuban cigars to be found in Miami, for less than $150 a box. Why buy the real thing and risk confiscation when you can buy good fakes right here at home.
