We all know that cigars can vary from lot to lot. Even the best super-premiums will have variation.
Assuming the cigar company makes the cigars in the same facility, from the same type of leaves from the same individual farms, the flavor should be fairly consistent.
But we all know that crops from the same seeds on the same farms can vary from year to year. Hence, the limited production Vintage cigars that manufacturers make.
But, like a decent wine, shouldn't all cigars be stamped with a vintage, or at least a "born on date" or something?
I realize that cigars differ from wine in that wines often utilize a single variety of grapes from a single vineyard, while a cigar will be made this year with leaves from years past.
But knowing that, isn't it true that certain batches of cigars will yield superior flavors than other batches produced at different times??
In this day and age where even our soft drinks have a date on the label, couldn't we get the same information from the best cigar companies?
