Serial Number Secret

[El Presidente]

I only found out today that any serial number on the warranty label commencing in a red XY has been opened and inspected at the Habanos s.a facitlity as part of quality control.

There are 18 inspectors in the Habanos s.a facility. They work Monday through Saturday.

Rejection rate is between 2-3%. Upmann Factory is one factory which has had a zero rejection rate by the Habanos s.a inspectors over the past 12 months.

The secret is out.....they do have a system :-D

Why is there such a reluctance to let people know whats going on?

Impossible. The XX gene is female, and the partriarchs of Cuba could probably not tolerate this. I believe the men will stay XY :-P

Because everyone of us is now on the lookout for 2006 Boxes comming out of the H.Upmann factory.

Now the 64 Thousand Dollar Question is:

What are the Factory Codes for the Upmann Factory?

It's my understanding that they started off with "XX"...now they are on "XY"...in the future, likely "XZ"

I have an "XX" box of RASS from GKI FEB 04.

Haven't ripped off the "XX" sticker to see the original underneath.
