Burn marks on a wrapper leaf?

[Guest Nekhyludov]

I just opened a bundle of customs and found what look like small burn spots on one wrapper.

I don't see it as a problem at all, just unusual. I've seen some very strange things in my Habanos smoking career, but this is a new one. 

Has anyone else seen something similar?

Somebody branding their leaf? Looks like an M to me - Maximo ?  ?

Looks to me like someone was smoking while handling them and kissed it with the lit end of their cigar.

Never seen that but could it be tar stains from someone that handled the cigar?

Isn’t there a shortage of toilet paper on the Island! Wrappers are SOFT.

It is part of HSA's new pest control plan. As Cuban people are struggling financially, the Cuban govt has taken a leaf out of China's playbook, and created new jobs for the people. Everyone is given a magnifying glass, and they are to burn the tobacco beetles off the leaves. Unfortunately, some leaves may get a little scorched while people learn their new job skill.

HSA saves money on expensive pest control chemicals, and the Cuban govt can report record employment numbers. Win, win.
