Cohiba Box Code

[chungair]

I recently bought 2 boxes of Cohiba Robusto and Siglo VI. The box codes from the boxes were PBS Oct08 and MEL Nov08. Does anyone know which factory they are from? Appreciate your help.

I know that MEL is the code for the El Laguito factory.

Thanks. Do you happen to have an updated box code list?

Or a preferred list of factories for cohiba cigars?

No updated list, sorry. The factory codes change so much I don't even try to keep up. I saw the MEL code at El Laguito last year, that's how I know about it.

Thanks. FWIW someone at another forum mentioned that USE is Partagas Factory.

El Laguito was the birthplace of the brand and was, to my recollection, the sole production site for quite a long time.

But no longer. Cohibas are made in lots of factories now.

Probably why the quality is very inconsistent these days.
