Time spent in the warehouse,....

We are always aware of the age of our cigars from the time we have them and the added value that is achieved with age. But for your average five pack, what about the time they spend in the warehouse. Does that count for anything? Is that time a credit to the cigar's maturity? Or do they not keep them long enough to matter? Im wondering if there is ever some unsold stock that sits for years and does that mean they would taste better? Or do they force quicker turnover by discounting the slow moving stock? How much time on average would a five pack spend  in the ccom warehouse? Your thoughts?

    Unless you're buying a box that is date stamped, you'll never know for sure.

    Time spent in warehouse definitely counts for age. I've seen Ccom have a sale on MOW Ruination and when they started showing up they were all original release. That was a score for anyone who got in on that sale. Although, not all cigars age the same. Some are not good candidates for aging as well, not to mention taste is subjective.

    It seems like the simplest thing. Considering that CC come with it, you would think everyone would copy that aspect as well. Our box is Cuban-esque!!!!
