Montecristo Especial(Cello) for me tonight. Box code NNUE 1984? I checked this code on Cubanigarwebsite.com and this code doesn't seem to be part of the NIVELACUSO date codes as they started in 1985!?!?!? Cuba being Cuba?
Plus, according to MRN's book, Montecristo have never produced these as cellophane wrapped?!?
You got more bloody old stuff out again. I keep telling you Stevie, there's some lovely cigars out recently, geez
Well that's an oddity! How does it smoke there, Stev'eh?
It's hard to say "Cuba being Cuba" when there's a pre-mature release. Cuba is known for tardy releases, innit? That'd be like releasing the new RyJ bands 1 year early on cigars by accident. I don't think they would've even had the stamps capable of stamping something called "NNUE". That just doesn't make sense.
That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, though. I haven't been around long enough
RE: Cello. That's not cello. that's individual wax paper. I have heard various retailers comment that they used to put wax paper to "protect" the older cigars but that's only on whole boxes... not individual cigars. Quite odd indeed.
Show us the image of the box, S?
It's definitely not wax paper Jeremy. Cello sometimes goes opaque through time. It was an amazing smoke though. Incredibly smooth with an amazing flavour.

That's odd... You never see NIVELACUSO stamps without the 2 or 3 letter factory code beside before it. The stamping is right for font... But that's quite odd that they don't have the extra digits like they normally do.
I say just ignore the code? Maybe it's just some misc. early 80s. Weird of me to ask... but: are you sure it's early 80s?
@Jeremy: can you post some pictures of your boxes that have the factory code for comparison?
Lmao. You have to tag my username. Not the name that isn't prgrammed into the database.
Anyway. Sorry for the tardiness. Just got home.

I don't have any SBN from the NIVELACUSO years so the dress box examples will kinda have to serve...
