Cohiba from the DR. Are these fake?

So my buddies went to the DR last week. I told them to bring me back gifts. And well, they did. Even though it wasn't expected.

He brought me back a little 10ct box of Cohibas. They say Republica Dominicana on the band below the Cohiba part. I've read some stuff online about the Cohibas that are only allowed to be sold in the DR cuz of General Cigar lawsuits and bla bla bla. So maybe they could be the legit ones that are only sold in the DR. Now what makes me think they are fake...

-They're very soft and have not consistently filled.
-The box and label look like crap.
-The cellophane is very thin and not like the cellophane on other cigars.

Here are some pics. You guys be the judge. I just got these so I haven't smoked one. They are very soft so I don't know if they're too "wet" or what. I'm gonna leave them out for a few days then I'll light one up and test it.
