I would assume any barcode label affixed outside the shrink wrap would be a vendors inventory control label, whether it has a date or not.

Then again.. I recently bought a box of Padron that I know came from the manufacturer, with only a brief stop to re-pack it for me. and it had a barcode label on the outside... no date though.


So... I guess I'm no help at all, huh?
Padron should have the date stamped on a little piece of paper in the box. The paper has other quality control info written on it (in Spanish, I'm guessing).

DPG stamps month and year of boxing, as do the Cubans. LGD puts the year of rolling, IIRC.
