Wrapper shades

[La Chupacabra]

I just received 10 cigars in the mail today that I ordered last week. The cigars in question are not a boutique label, but a major manufacturer, they are rather high end and pricey by anyone’s standard. What has me wondering is the stark difference in the color of three of them. 7 out of the 10 are the normal Colorado color I have always seen them, but 3 of them are a much lighter (I would say EMS).
In all my years of cigar smoking (over 20) I have never noticed such a drastic swing in wrapper shades. Any insight?

I've only noticed this on Rocky Patel.

Normally when sorting out cigars for boxes they sort by color, changes are that 3 of them just came from a different box then the other 7.

As long as they taste identical who cares imho

This is very common among nearly all cigars that exist. Some cigars will have less variation, but all lines will have some. And it goes for Habanos as well, and to a laughable degree (you could have two sticks and swear that one was a shade-grown wrapper it's so light, and the other a dark rosado ... same sticks, different boxes).

That's it exactly, I know that shades vary from box to box and run to run, but the stark difference in these cigars was amazing, if you removed the band you would never guess they where the same cigar.
