Fuzz Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I either need to get my eyes checked or my mind out of the gutter. I read the thread title as, "Question on Dating Codes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbguardsp Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I wanna say I've seen April ABR looking like APR with the bottom of the B rubbed off some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolicalpherpher Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 There was a post on another website asking if the box of Cohiba Siglo VI SLB (25) was legitimate. This person was supposedly in Beijing and was offered $300 for the box which already sounded alarm bells. The authentication code also came back as not registered but sometimes it happens. Everything looked ok on the surface except for one thing, the box date was 'DEC 16'. Sometimes I think counterfeiters ask to see if its real or not to test out their wares as the post was deleted soon after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIC = DEC ENE = JAN Someone asked me the question so I thought it best to put it out there Interesting question. I went back into my inventory pictures of my current cigar stock, going back to 2006 and 2007 boxes, various vendors and direct purchases. Everything that's January, April, August and December are showing as ENE, ABR, AGO and DIC. No English abbreviations found. I did see a variance of the symbols and spaces used between the month code and the two-digit year date though, ie "ENE - 09", "JUL09", "ABR * 12", and "JAN 12".

CrownN7eveN Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 No, I haven’t seen it either, however, it does sound like they may be fakes, if indeed the date is abbreviated in English. I could’ve sworn I seen on a forum somewhere with this exact thing found on a box, but I can’t remember where... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 only on fake boxes,but several of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 No. But some of the dates look like the English spelling but it's just the abbreviations of the Spanish words. All of them minus ENE (JAN), AGO (AUG) .ABR (APR) and DIC (DEC) are the same in both English and Spanish. So box codes with JAN, APR, AUG and DEC would be suspicious.
