For what it's worth party.gif

  • The list is based on the highest % of High Quality Plus (my HQ/PSP) per code from January through to November 30th this year.
  • For the purpose of the exercise, the minimum number of boxes looked at with that code is 250. I hence have not included some stunning cigars from the last quarter with some new codes simply because I haven't seen a minimum of 250 boxes.

The list is a little unfair to workhorse codes such as ULA given the numbers of cigars produced. Flipside is that LUB/LUA/EML/RAE also produce a ton of cigars.

Still it is a guide.

Wow, thank you for this! Glad I picked up a few on 24:24s this year, looking forward to enjoying them

Based on your experience of inspecting so many boxes, if one were to buy blind from these codes what would be the chances (estimate) of getting a good box?

I guess I should stop forum stalking and actually post...

Glad I have many of the good codes covered!

Representing 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 21. I think I need more Cubans to fill up the list. WOOT!

Maybe someone can provide me with some information. I purchased a box of Party 898's around end of April 2015. No box code or date on box. Anyone know this information? Thanks.

I gather you are new. Please introduce yourself in the new member section. No date code is troublesome. ..

Box codes on 898's are on the outer cardboard box.

The second part to the question of how many codes is...how many codes represent the same factory? There have been many different codes for Partagas, El Laguito and Upmann through the years.

This is the correct answer for old members and new ones alike.

This is typical:

Sometimes these cardboard boxes, if they get too much water on them, can really stink. While I try to keep mine intact for the authenticity value, I have tossed more than one cardboard outer cover myself.

Was there one of these for 2016 or did I miss it?!  I tried searching and this is the most recent one I could find.  Thanks!

Not that I remember, TOS is a pretty good one.

It took me literally 3 years to realize that after buying a box off of a friend.

would be nice to know how many of these codes are the before/after of the same factory.

Some may have changed in  a year.

I know from personal inventory that TOS was great, just curious about what EL PREZ saw in his shop.  Looks like I didn't miss anything.  Thanks guys!
