Puros Y Vino Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 2 hours ago, Fireball said: I apologize if I missed it in the thread, but why do they periodically change codes? Mostly to deter cherry picking of favored factories. If everyone knew what codes El Laguito are, they'll search those out first and ignore the ones that aren't. Eventually the codes leak but if you maintained a standard consistency, you'd end up having stock that sat on shelves longer because they weren't rolled at a preferred factory. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Thanks @Puros Y Vino. And a big thanks to @LizardGizmo. I had glanced at this before, but I didn’t realize how cool it was until I went through my small collection and was able to see the origin of cigars that were great AND not so great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Man Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Found couple of typos for H Upmann. 2003 should be ECA instead of LCA. 2005 should be FIN instead of FIM. Thank you @LizardGizmo 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Esplendidos be rolled in Santa Cruz ? Noob question, I'm really new to this game. 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardGizmo Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 Yeah I've seen it on the list but Ajay seemed to imply it was a new factory code. Can Esplendidos be rolled in Santa Cruz ? Noob question, I'm really new to this game. Absolutely. A lot of Cohiba cigars are still rolled in non-Laguito factories. Here are two Bond Roberts examples of an OSG ABR 22 box from a different provincial factory out in Artemisa:https://www.bondroberts.com/product/view/24928/Cohiba_Espléndidos_2022_Varnished_Boîte_Nature_Box_of_25_cigarshttps://www.bondroberts.com/product/view/24717/Cohiba_Espléndidos_2022_Varnished_Boîte_Nature_Box_of_25_cigars 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugu Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Came across what I thought were a new code (LRO FEB 24) on Ramon Allones special production. But turns out from BR that LRO has been in use in 2023 already. So not new. But neither in the list. Is it possible that the code for Guayos in SS (RLO) got transposed letters?

Years given on top of the columns are either the years of code changing or full years of a code existing. Thereore, an early month, such as Feb you are likely to find in the preceding column / year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 On 8/6/2024 at 1:24 PM, Li Bai said: Can Esplendidos be rolled in Santa Cruz ? Even Lanceros and BHK can be rolled outside of El Laguito. Rare but it does happen. Although there seems to be more non-EL Lanceros in the last 3-4 years. Haven't seen much if any recent BHK with non-EL codes. Last time I recall was around 16-17. As far as Esplendidos a significant portion are made outside EL. In fact I'd say I'm not even sure most are made at EL. Best I can tell it's about 50% in the last 10 years or so. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LizardGizmo Posted October 15 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 15 I’ve gotten a few questions about updated factory codes. As of this writing, the codes have not changed since the last update. I am in Havana now and am working to understand when they are going to change again.There are a few small errors that need to be corrected and I will issue a new version once I have an understanding of current timeline. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardGizmo Posted Tuesday at 05:05 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:05 PM I confirmed during our visit in October that the factory codes remain unchanged at this time, coming up on three years. I was also just told that there is no current plan for a change, but I would bet that we will see them start to change sometime in the first half of next year. I am now combing through DMs, emails and comments in this thread for any errors that have been found for a v1.4. If you have any additional notes or corrections, please share so I can include them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
