Was it the leather or the matching colognes that gave it away?

Grammatically, it's fine to start a sentence with "Because" in a construction like this one: "Because...codes" here is a subordinate clause (that is, it couldn't stand on its own as a sentence) that introduces the main part of the sentence (everything after the comma). When teachers warn us against starting sentences with "Because," it's to prevent us from winding up with sentence fragments, which can easily result from punctuating in the wrong place.

I know that, but I was taught in grade school and university to never use due to describe an event. Using due other then representing a time frame is considered improper english. I even asked my cousin who is graduating in June, when do you use due. She said only to represent a dead line. That is what we were taught here. I just thought it was kind of weird that CND GN, didn't mention that.

It's not my fault you were taught improper English.
