The others have a names like Perdomo Habano Corojo, Olivia G Maduro etc. The CCs just seem to go by manufacturer and size. Makes it hard to figure out which one I smoked. Or does Partagas for example only make 1 line of cigars but different sizes?

More or less that's true, but each size is a different blend. Punch, for example; Punch Robusto, Punch Corona, Punch Ninfa, Punch Churchill and Punch Double Corona are all very different cigars. There are lines though. Hoyo de Monterrey has a Le Hoyo line, Partagas has the Serie P and D lines, Romeo y Julieta has the Exhibition and Cedros de Luxe lines (among others) and there are more. So there will be more than one of some cigar size under a brand and they are just named by "size" (No. 2, Monarca, Corona Extra, etc.) and use a different "size" name between them to differentiate - for example, H. Upmann produces the Monarca and the Sir Winston, two different churchills. It's also because Cuba doesn't produce different kinds of wrappers to "nickname" with, save for the odd maduro here and there.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit
