Agreed -- the Pepin stamps are straight forward. La Flor Dominica has a more complex code that is discussed elsewhere. And yes, no need for a factory code in most cases. LGC, however, is one company that rolls both in the DR and in Miami, so a "country" code comes in handy. There may be others. I asked only about LGC , but many of the other cigars by General (Partagas, Macanudo, etc.) have similar box codes, which followed a predictable pattern until several years ago.
