CRA is a political lobbying agency with the intent of protecting smokers rights and freedoms. They lobby congressional representatives to get their vote in preventing anti-tobacco legislation. Only you can decide if their efforts are worth your donation. Their website can provide more information and specifics.
The serial number band on higher end Padrons was added as an anti-counterfeiting measure.
That's really about it although different plants have evolved differently to prefer/require different growing conditions. Amount of sunlight is one of these conditions.
Different tobacco has different characteristics. Not all will burn the same.
