agreed
Every NC box I've ever bought just had a simple date stamp, and a far as CC box codes go, I don't even try to decode them. I trust the vendors for authenticity and I'm not serious enough as a collector to care what factory my smokes came from.
I hope my first post didn't come off as being snarky. I've just never heard of NC companies using secret codes.
