My Dear Cigars Smokers / Cigaraficionados:
First...Happy Holidays.![Christmas tree :christmas_tree: 🎄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f384.png)
You know...through all my years of smoking cigars...I have always wanted to know why non-Cuban cigars come without final production dates (i.e., Box Codes), on their boxes?
This is probably why I favor Cubans, because there are Box Codes (applied during the 'boxing' process),...you know how mature/age of the cigars you just purchased.
Now, with non-Cubans (correct me if I'm wrong), you have to 'trust' (banding / marketing et.al), the maker as to the maturity / age of their
tobacco / blends.
Lets Discuss.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
