Partagas 898 EMS 2003 Varnished

[RobustoClubHavana]

Simple question
I picked up an open box of Partagas 898 however I know that they come in an outer box with the box code on as I have two others now I am trying to find out if these are 03s or earlier the varnished box has an EMS 2003 sticker on it from H&F now the question does this mean they are 03 or just that 03 is when it was purchased by H&F
Has anyone got a box of cigars with an EMS sticker on dated different to the actual year of produce?

Don't know if this helps Martyn but info from Trevors site.

United Kingdom
UK Distributor, Hunters & Frankau, resurrected the old EMS (English Market Selection) sticker in 1993. These stickers are applied to cigar boxes after clearing Bond and the payment of Customs & Excise Duty.

95% plus will be the same year but late 02 boxes that cleared customs in January 03 will have that years stickers
