Why don't NC cigar makers put dates on boxes?

Well, not even close, imo...I want to know where the tobacco comes from, so that If I like the flavors, I can pick up more of that specific tobacco...

Maybe they should print the farmers name and how he grows the tobacco so you can just grow your own? Blender's secrets are just that secret. Only a fool would give you the exact blend of his cigars. I think Coca Cola should print the recipe on the can and the Colonel should list his 13 herbs and spices so I can make his chicken at home too.

Most cigars do say where the tobaccos come from. Only generic[ish] brands/cigars, I've found, are hard to trace the contents of. Advertising often makes a pretty specific description of the contents, i.e., for example (out of my arse), "Dominican fillers complemented by Nicaraguan ligeros from the Jalapa Valley are rounded by a Mexican binder and finished with a sun-grown Connecticut Habano wrapper." In the non-Cuban world, just knowing the country of origin is enough to make a reasonable assessment of the cigar's flavors; Nicaraguan manufacturers in recent years have, mostly as marketing, began expounding on the valleys and regions their tobaccos come from ("The famous growing region of Esteli...") I don't know many brands that don't make their sources known in some form in some place.
