CA Ratings: CC vs NC, Fair?
It struck me awhile ago that when CA displays their ratings for cigars the CC's that are reviewed have box time while the NC's do not. How is if fair to review a CC with over five years of age to a NC with no listed box time?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NCs pre-age their tobacco before putting it on the market, while CCs haven't done that in years. So in reality, it might be evening things out?

Re: CA Ratings: CC vs NC, Fair?
Why not write a letter to the editor and pose the same question? Maybe you will get a response?
It will likely be something along the line of aged NC are not available for sample at the time of rating, blah, blah, blah.

Re: CA Ratings: CC vs NC, Fair?
Using the phrase "CA ratings" and the word "fair" in the same sentence is funny.

Re: CA Ratings: CC vs NC, Fair?
Almost all the CCs boxes have box codes that correspond with month and year they were created stamped on the bottom, while NC boxes, beside perticular brands do not have month/year stamping...

Unless your idea of a great cigar centres around appearance rather than taste, I would disregard cA ratings.

Re: CA Ratings: CC vs NC, Fair?
In my opinion, CA ratings = . If you want an honest opinion, I'm sure you'll find it here or in the Top 25 database.
