  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I actually had 2 warranty seals on a box of BGM's. No need to worry if the vendor is good.

Interesting that the second warranty seal starts with 'DB'. Typically the REVISADO seals are 'XX' or 'XY'. Note that not all re-inspected boxes are marked REVISADO. I picked up a box in Havana last week dated '98 with warranty seal starting with 'D'. Normally a box this old would have a warranty seal WITHOUT serial numbers. It could be possible that they have run out of 'XX' and 'XY' serials and have leftover 'D' serials.

I have received boxes with second seals that were and weren't 'XX'. They were not stamped with REVISADO and they were outstanding smokes.

IIRC the letter and numbers started being used in 99-00 and started at AA.

I don't have time to look up the exact details but I am pretty sure I remember that correctly.

I just got a box last week with double seals. After I saw them I went hunting for the REVISADO and eventually found it, was a little hard to make out.
