I know the thread is about the boxes themselves, but just to throw it out there, at least with the Family Reserves, Padron has a little white paper inside (should be outside as well, I know..) each box that states the date rolled, & the person who rolled it. Not so much for the consumer I belive as it is for Padron themselves to keep up the quality control. For instance if something happened with a certain box/batch of cigars, the company could address the problem specifically with the person who rolled said cigars. Just another staple in quality control in my book for Padron. But back to the thread, the one advantage I could see with NCs having a date on the box, is like said, you can have the opportunity to purchase a box thats been aging for a while opposed to a fresh box because you would be able to see when they where rolled. It is a very simple process I would assume to throw a stamp on each box. Should be done more often with more companys, I agree
