CCW: Alternatives or more detailed info?

[sjmistry]

Hello all, 

I believe Cuban Cigar Website is an outstanding website and I frequent it often. There is a wealth of information there and I truly appreciate the webmaster/administrators. Without it I do not think I would have learned as much ( to FOH as well, thanks team) about our hobby and it's history. 

I have combed through the site and cannot find the info I am looking for in regards to packaging. I have a CCE box with a stamp of MKO OCT 04. Everything looks/smells/feels outstanding but when I look at the actual varnished box there is no Cohiba logo. Is this an error or is this how the packaging was designed for certain years? If someone has this same box in the collection or knows the answer, please let me know. 

I am looking for a site/resources where I can actually look up pictures/information about specific cigars with a specific production year/factory stamp.

Thanks. 

-Shake

CCW is indeed awesome.  Can't find an answer there? Post here!  Lots of experienced smokers here from all over the world.  Post some pictures in your original post. I'm sure collectively, we can help.

1. No alternatives to CCW. Period.

2. Yes, you can find the occasional box of Lances or CCE without the logo brand. I am not sure about any temporal systematics there, than rather think that that's boxes that slipped through (CbC).
