    Think that band was discontinued in 08 but I think tubed Churchill’s had already been discontinued then

    It certainly is and still has a very nice aroma.

    A is the month it was released from the bond
    BB is the month which in your case -8 means August
    C is the final number in the year of release which in your case is 0 which makes it 1990

    Thanks Steve, that's really interesting. The older box codes are much harder to decipher than the current ones.

    I might be misremembering!
    I think the 80 means Aug 1990.
    The 1 had something to do with when released from the bonded warehouse.
    I'll see if I can find the article that Simon Chase wrote years ago which was great for deciphering H&F codes and old boxes

    Nice find Neil.
    Its weird that there's a Jan 1980 stamp on the bottom. In the UK, H&F used to stamp boxes when they released them into the shops IIRC. (In the 50s-70s they'd write coded dates in pencil)

    Looking on CCW, the brand is listed as having been re-introduced in 1989..... But why have a 1980 stamp? I guess I'm wrong about the stamp but it's a bit odd!?!?

    Discovered these recently as well: La Corona Petit Coronas. Not sure of their exact age but I believe they would've been rolled some time between 1989-99.
