cigarros Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hi! Recently have been delivered in Russia from one wellknown swiss e-shop next cigars - Partagas Churchill de Luxe & Bolivar Corona Extra. And this one What are you thinking about?
kilroy Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 It means you should remove the name of the source where you got them from the post title!
cigarros Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Sorry! I've not specially specified a source. Just would like to understand these codes
DocRKS Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Just would like to understand these codes You and all the rest of us here ! LOL!!!!! I used to enjoy recording the Codes against the Factory and searching out a particular factory for a cigar I was looking for (and avoiding factories I did not have the best experiences with) --- but when the powers that be in Habana switched to the quickly revolving code system to prevent guys like me from doing exactly what I was attempting to do - the pursuit of the box codes got to be too much like work and stopped being fun.
Ginseng Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 What year of production did the vendor report for these boxes? Wilkey
Ryan Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 The top one looks like it might be UECC which could make it feb '99 The bottom one, UACC could make it apr '99 I don't think they could be anything other than 1999, using the "CODIGUNETA" code Have a look at this link to trevor's site http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/8-packagi...#Box_Date_Codes As for factory codes, I don't have a clue.
cigarros Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 As I understand - in Switzerland lives swisses. These guys thinking that in Russia lives only bears It's not true! We're likes good cigars (wine, whisky and women of course!!) and understanding what we're smokin' at moment...... What does it mean? Possibly swisses thinkin' that we're idiots?! Probably....... I would like to remind that Zino was russian too... Strange situation Best regards to all!
jdbrown Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Cigarros, You also have Danube Taimen trout in Russia!!! I have a friend that runs fishing expeditions to Russia just for these gargantuan trout!! BTW..I have both these codes on some boxes purchased several years ago,
buster Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I have a question that relates to this thread: are the box codes always written in one particular fashion (I understand the different code methods for different periods of time), or is there some differentiation w/ respect to the order of the code and the spacing of any groups of the pair? I ask because I have a box of Bolivar CEs (none burned yet) w/ a box code written "UN CC DDE". According to Trevor's website, this would be Jan '99 production, but he has it written as "CCUN". The other example in Cigarros' original post is written "UACCDDE". Hence, my question about order of elements of the code and spacing. Thanks, Rick
DocRKS Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I have a question that relates to this thread: are the box codes always written in one particular fashion I've found that inconsistency is the only consistency in the manner in which Habana cigars are labelled/coded.....
Colt45 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 So, it does appear that the code has been "flipped' - UACC instead of CCUA (I was wondering how common this might be as well). If that is the case, from what I've seen published, the DDE would designate the Camajuani (sp?) factory, Villa Clara province.
cigarros Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 There were also these cigars - SANCHO PANZA BACHILLERES- UNU CCUE SANCHO PANZA BACHILLERES- URL E000 Anybody met these codes? It would be desirable to hope that all cigars are real
Habanos2000 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Silly question, but did you ask your source what the codes mean?
anacostiakat Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 There were also these cigars - SANCHO PANZA BACHILLERES- UNU CCUE SANCHO PANZA BACHILLERES- URL E000 Anybody met these codes? It would be desirable to hope that all cigars are real E000 = September 1999 Factory code unknown. CCUE = February 1999 Factory code unknown. Sorry I can not provide more at this time. . .
jwm8592 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 What about NO box codes?? First time I have ever rec'd box of CC that did not have a box code at all. Its the last pic, I figured I'd show all three pictures, what do you make of it? these look very nice! NO box codes? p.s. The darkness towards the top of the bottom of the box is due to using go-be-gone to remove the sticker.
Habanos2000 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 NO box codes? I'd have to say, in Cuba, anything is possible.
jwm8592 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Forget it, geez. I just went on Trevor's site and read where the code is either stamped on the timber or the cardboard outer packaging. Well sure enough went out the garage and there the code was on the bottom of the cardboard box. Its kind of odd how they have the box code and the warranty seal on the cardboard box, but the Habanos Seal is directly on the timber cigar box. Sorry about that, Oh well you at least get a look at my newly arrived Sir Winnie's.
jamesward Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 F-ck the box codes. Those are some damn pretty Sir Winstons you got there.
El Presidente Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I was going to tell you to check the bottom of the cardboard outer box for the WInnies As for the other codes I can tell you they are all familiar in that I have seen them many moons ago.
