liuzzi Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I picked up what looks to be an older box of Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales in cellophane last week. I bought it from an official LCDH store. I've never seen a box code like this before. I tried to place the letters in the frame provided in Trevor's web site but these don't seem to fit. It doesn't help that the stamp is quite foggy and difficult to read. Also it looks like the Totalmente a Mano text has been there but it has been scratched off for some reason. Any help explaining the box date of this would be greatly appreciated. I can add more pictures if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 have you opened thd box yet? might be you got the machine made version from beford 2002(?), hence the scratched off engraving. you can look at the habanos chevron and tax sticker to get an age idea.

kjellfrick Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Looks like USNN which would be a November 1989 box. Skickas från min iPad via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
