The guarantee seal of the Republic of Cuba

The first time the Guarantee Seal was used was in 1889 by means of a Royal Decree, issued by the King of Spain. Later in 1912, the independent government of Cuba passed a law authorizing the use of a new design, similar to the one currently used. In 1931 it underwent a slight modification and in 1999 the change was more radical, with the addition of a serial number in red and an emblem that is seen only under ultraviolet light.

Finally, in 2009 To 2011 a new version with a hologram is introduced in each stamp, as well as an individualized barcode that allows the tracking of each Habanos box, from production to its commercialization by each exclusive Habanos distributor in the world. The barcode allows you to verify the authenticity of each box by entering the Habanos website:

The new Warranty Seal has been gradually introduced in all packages where two new security elements. On the right side, a hologram next to the shield and a personalized barcode for each container.

This label will always be placed from the upper left side of the box or display, leaving 3 to 6 mm from the edge and bending through the middle of the shield where possible.

It is worth clarifying that the seal always comes attached to the outside of the Habanos box, never inside it and much less loose.

On the other hand, the unique barcode applied to each box will be stored in a database to identify the product, market, invoices, among other details.
