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

Camacho also used to do it. A 'boxed on' date would make me happy.

Pepin has done it since he started, and because most other companies don't:

I grab a ball point pen/sharpie and scribble the date I ordered them (month/year) when they show up. Its super easy, and yes I know thats not when they were rolled, but at least it provides a baseline.

And I don't want to hear about the affects of the pen ink/sharpie absorbing into the wood of the box and transferring its characteristics to the cigars inside.... but I still wonder should I store them with the cello on or off after dating them?

Coke gives you the ingredients on the can, not the recipe or "blend" of the ingredients.

What he said. He's just asking for the ingredients.
