All good, folks, but that’s not a (legit) box code stamp. Wondering it made its way through to BR.

Does anyone else have a record of either BEO or BOE? I'm wondering if the 16/17 code listed as BOE for Caney Factory in Santiago is a typo on the document.

Bit of a necro thread response here. Just saw this question. Montecristo No.4 BEO JUL 16 - purchased from a grey market vendor in March of 2021. These are long gone, but as I recall they were a mild but flavorful smokes with a decidedly chocolate/coffee profile. As I was updating my records and looked at these photos later, I was leaning towards them being fakes. I could not find the box code on your list and something about the font of the box code did not look right.

Hey folks! Anyone have info on whether LRO was ever a real code? I was going through my stash and confirming box dates, etc., and my Hoyo Epi 1s have this box code from 2024. Here's a pic in case I am reading it wrong. Can't find the code on the spreadsheet.

I got these from a vendor I've purchased many boxes from with no issues. Vendor is trusted on the Cuban subreddit and has never, not once, been suspected of selling fakes, so I'm stumped.

LRO is Cruces fabric in Cienfuegos Province.

Hoyo San Juan was boxed there too.

In the List is LNO - that's one of the verified mistakes.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate this.

By any chance do you gents know which factory is OEG? Seems like a bigger factory since it's a popular box code. Thanks. 

OEG is Felia No. 2 in Holguin Province.
