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

[LasciviousXXX]

I'd be interested to know the number of NC smokers who age their boxes. From my observations, the *average* NC smoker probably does not collect boxes and has a smaller humidor. Most I know, again this is my experience, keep a small to medium desktop humidor and buy only enough for their regular consumption. I know very few primarily NC smokers who collect on a scale as most Habanos smokers. This may be a reason that most NC co's don't date stamp their boxes.

Most habanos smokers I know collect multiple boxes for aging and keep enough cigars on hand to handle their daily smoking needs.

Not arguing the validity of aging NC's at all, I believe they will benefit from aging as well. Just saying that it may be a non-issue in the NC world.
