Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Forgive me if I break any rules by posting this.

From the following, what would you choose? Why?

I'd like to get a box of each brand, and this is what I can choose from. Anyone with experience with any of the boxes?

Btw, what does the three letter code refer to?

Thanks,
NEH

The factory codes don't matter like they did many years ago. Get the oldest box.

The box of RC's I just recieved is TEB Jun07. Havent tried any yet, I put it away to rest for a while. Good to know they're smoking well.

I see POS very frequently - just too many boxes with this code and can't say they are consistently good or bad.

PUB and TEB are less frequent than POS, but still widely encountered. In my experience, both have been good.

Never seen the others.

neh, having said that, however, I think it's pretty useless thing to try get better cigars by code. After all, even the same box contains cigars rolled by different torcedores. Boxes with same code and date could've been rolled at different times (sometimes months apart), because it's not the production date, but rather the time when it left the factory.

Just pick one.

RASS 06, I have heard, are smoking very well.

Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.

Just because someone's opinion is different than yours, doesn't make them wrong.
