Most of the time, each cigar is individually cello'd, so no worries.

Eric is wise. It's all about lower costs. You have the cost of manufacturing the box plus also the weight and space of the box when shipping. They can pack a lot more mazos of cigars in a container than boxed cigars.
When I was down in Nicaragua a few years ago, one of the manufacturers commented that his boxes cost about $5-6 for everything, so that can add up quick with a big production. If you're a discount volume reseller like CI, Famous, JR, etc. all that matters is the bottom line on the cigar and factory mazos are cheaper.
