Habanos Factory Codes?

[itsme_timd]

I'm pretty inexperienced with Habanos but had a couple boxes come in today.

One of them (PSD4's) has the code LRE DIC09 and the other (VR Famosos) has the code MSO MAY-09. I've searched quite a bit but can't find what LRE or MSO refer to. I believe these are factory codes? Does anyone know what factories these refer to?

this from a website i read occasionally...


Fourth & Current System (2003 on)

With this system of factory codes, all factories have an unique 3 capital letter code that can be changed monthly and yearly. With this system there are a substantial number of unique codes available, which means there need not be a duplicate code for many years.

Consequently identifying and tracking them is virtually impossible. Only those with access to the code generator program would know codes in advance.

Occasionally a code may be reported but even if correct, it is of limited use as it may only be valid for short time.
