 Check the bottom of you Pepin boxes. Most, if not all will have date stamps. No code just a straight date stamp. Cuban cigars are the same, although they do have some additional letters on boxes from recent years noone has been able to come up with a code of any consistency. As for NC's 99% of them are made in the same factories so I see no reason for factory codes.
