Default Havana, CT?

Last weekend my wife and I went to a town in the Middle of CT. We popped into the local cigar shop, that looked much more like a "head shop" from outside. Past all the "pipes" and accessories, in the back was a nice walk-in humidor. I scanned the shelves for something interesting when I noticed...

The entire back wall of the humidor was filled with Partgas, Cohiba, H. Upman, and Montecristo boxes. Front and center was a couple of boxes of Cohiba Belke's. Everything was marked Cuba. The light was fairly dim but the labels seemed good. The boxes weren't obvious fakes. They all had a triple cap and seemed rolled right. Although it's been a little while since I've been around any CC's they smelled right. Almost all the cigars were priced around $19.95. I had already spent my fun money for the week and didn't want to pay 20 bucks and plus CT's sales tax, for a dog rocket but what the hell is going on here?

We're pretty strict on counterfeit anything in CT, and although we do our best to out liberal Kennedy Country (Mass-o-shussettes) up North I don't think CT has embrace trade with the Castro Brothers yet. The proprietor was Middle Eastern and glued to his computer. I wasn't sure how to ask him without accusing him of breaking the law and/or selling counterfeit stuff so I left quietly...but what the hell is going on here?
