Double dates on a box

[joshua]

Anyone know about this? I have a box which has dates stamped on it twice.

There is also two seals on the box. So are they 01 or 04?

It was opened for inspection on the revisado date.

This is good info to know. Thanks Brian.

 

[tobby4]

hmm..good question... and a better answer

 

[joshua]

So this means they are 2001? That's great news then!

 

[caudio51]

01 and examnied 04 is what I get. :thumbsup:

 

[Black Dog]

I'm not an authority of course but my understanding is that the original date is correct.

Exactly what was said above. They were boxed in '01 and sat on the vendors shelf so then the were checked for overfilling/underfilled/poor construction, etc. and stamped with the date they were revised. This happens a lot with thing RG cigars. Most noteably the Lanceros.

My box of LC's came in with the same stamps. I searched for the answer and it's exactly what Cliff posted. No worries!

Nice score on the 01's!! First time I had the dbl date stamp I thought I had a box of fakes, called vendor and he told me that it was a restamp for inspection!:jitb:

I've read on a German site in an interview with a Habanos rep that the cigars are tested, i.e. smoked. One cigar from the box is smoked. If OK, another is smoked. Then all cigars from the same code are pulled, sorted for color and then repackaged. I find this to be plausible, as I have revisado boxes where the color matching is not as close as what I would normally expect. I can't remember what happens if the first cigar is bad.

This is like the other day when I was at MacDonalds and got a double chicken nugget.

Nice score Josh!

Hey Josh, did it also happen to have two warranty seals?

One beginning in 'XX'?

Oh, no! Not the dreaded XX?!

 

[Wasch_24]

There isn't anything wrong with the double 'X'. Sometimes the 'Revisado' boxes get them.

Pssssst.......I was joking

I thought they always got either XX or XY if they were revised? I don't have first hand experience with this though because I haven't a revisado box.

From the title ... I thought this might have been an NSFW thread.

I was disappointed ... until I saw Todd's "XX" ... but then got disappointed again.

I have one with the XX but without the stamp...I also have one with a lettered seal over a non-lettered or numbered seal.
