Factory codes....

[Van55]

A friend of mine recently purchased a couple of boxes of PSD4 at LDCH outlets in the far East. They have no factory codes on them, and the cigars are authentic.

Are these boxes anomalies, or has Cuba stopped using factory codes in recent months? I think these boxes were dated DIC 05. I have no stock that young.

El Prez? What does your recent inventory look like, mate?

Interesting Van...No factory code but it still has a date code. Some Cuban cliche comes to mind :-)

I have a number of DIC05 dated boxes and all have factory codes. I have not seen any boxes without a factory code. I assumed the factory codes were used for internal inventory and QC control so one would assume they would still be applied.

Interesting Van. Love to hear what insight Prez has on this.

Fidel must have taken away the rubber stamps. Poor people.

What else will he ban?

What?

That is very strange Van.

Van.

I can confirm that all DIC 05 and post DIC 05 stock that we hold have the factory and date codes.

However...I have seen this (rarely) on stock. Just a factory stuff up.

Rob,

I see that elsewhere, another very knowledgeable individual based in the Asia-Pacific region has chimed in with this exact same conclusion.

Thanks Rob.

I thought these boxes must just be factory errors. I was sure that if Cuba had decided to drop factory codes from all boxes, it would have been big news on all the cigar boards.

They're obviously fake. Cuba never messes up their packaging in any manner!
