Authenticity
Starting from Feb 2024, there will be a new PCC Guarantee Seal that will gradually appear on boxes of cigars supplied by our company. The new seal has an embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) chip, enabling to scan the data using a smartphone close to the seal. By scanning, it will confirm the cigar name and details, packaging, factory and date code, barcode and where or whom the box was delivered.
In our divisions outside Hong Kong, the first boxes with the new NFC seal will be available a bit later. For cigars supplied in plain packaging in Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand there will be no PCC seal, as regulations do not allow this.
Certain product packaging such as metal packaging and all mini cigarillos (including Short) will not have the new NFC seal but continue to carry the current seal.
Our Guarantee Seal is recognized across Asia as the official seal for all Habanos products imported and sold by PCC. As in the past, there may be counterfeit seals, however the embedded data in the NFC Seal will ensure it cannot be duplicated.
