I have "inherited" several boxes of cigars.  Some are "Montecristo #2"
from Cuba and some are Fuente Opus X (Super Belicosa) from Dominican
Republic.  Are there any markings on the boxes that would tell me the
date of manufacture or age of these cigars?
Thanks

Dear Crutchfield,

Does this article about Cuban Box Codes meet your needs?
http://www.cigarweekly.com/community/resources/cuban_box_codes.asp

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find Fuente Opus X (super
Belicosa) box codes.

Thanks,

This is exactly what I am looking for for the cuban boxes.  I was able
to date them with this information.  Any info for the dominican boxes?
Thanks for the strong work.

Dear Crutchfield,

I'm delighted that the information provided helped you date your Cuban cigars. 

Unfortunately I was not able to find similar information for the
Dominican Republic cigars.

If you are interested in the partial information that I was able to
locate, you could lower the price of your question accordingly.
 
(You can change the price by going to "My Account," 
selecting "My Unanswered Questions", clicking on the question, and 
then clicking on "Change Question Parameters" to modify the pricing.) 
  
Afterwards, you can post another question, if you wish, to see whether
someone can find the date codes for the Donican Republic cigars.

Sincerely,
Bobbie7
