Just wondering why a single factory can't have more than one code? I mean, why can't la corona release boxes with TOS and LEP?

They could, but HSA simply has never done it. When the factories were clearly stated on the boxes pre-2000, there could be no code duplication anyway. I guess it never occurred to them to get that sophisticated with the concealment of factories. After 20 years of clearly stating the factory I guess they figured rotating a single code every cycle was more than sufficient for their purposes, which was really only to obscure provincial factories anyway as that's where the bias was.

TOS MAR 17 is La Corona

MEG MAR 17 is Upmann

BTO MAR 17 in El Laguito

These are from my most recent trip for the festival.....seen with my own eyes. Sorry if that doesn't help with the actual question.

They are yet repeating the BTO code? Sure?!

That's what I was thinking! With three letters, they can go for close to 200 years without needing to repeat any factory code

Yep, I believe this is correct:

El Laguito: MEL 08-09; TEU, 09-10; BTO 11-12; MUO 13-14; AMO 15-16
