On every box of cigars (NC) I've ever purchased, there has always been a seal/label from the country of origin. Today, I picked up a box of WOAM's, and did not notice till I got home and broke the seal to check contents that there WAS no seal/country of origin label. I picked up a box of 858's from the same place (local shop) last week, and I double-checked and found a seal on it. The WOAMS had the same wrapping that I always see on Fuente products, along with their sticker to denote Maduro, as well as the humi-pack that Fuente has been including in their boxes.

My question is: is something amiss here??? I won't be able to get back to the shop till later this week to investigate further, but the shop and owner are good, and he's had a Fuente account for years, though not for Opus. Just seemed kinda strange.

TIA,

Joe
