A couple age/date questions

We got a whole lot of cigars in at work on tuesday(26000 is the current total with about 1000 or so more to go), and it seems to me that our supplier pulled our order waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy out the back of their stock. Every single box of our Olvias had one of the old bands(before they put the letter front and center on it, so it only reads what line it is on the sides of the band), and we even got a box of La Aurora Preferidos Ruby Tubos with a release date of 2005. Now onto the questions:

When exactly did they change the bands for the Olivas from the one that looks similar to what they still use on the Connecticuts to this day to the ones with the letter of the line front and center?

When did Rocky Patel change the color of the labels for the Vintage 90s? I know it wasn't too long ago but can't remember for the life of me.

Are Alec Bradley Family Blend No. 1s(the 5.5"x50) still made? And did they ever change the blend on the Family Blends?

When did CAO change the boxes on the Gold lines? We got 3 boxes, 1 each of the Robusto, Torps, and Churchills. The Robustos were the only ones in a box with a latch on it.

Weren't the CAO Sopranos discontinued and when if they were.

Have the Punch Royal Coronation or Gran Cru bands ever changed?

When did Alec Bradley start putting cello on their cigars?

I'm sure there's a couple things I forgot, but this should be good. Just wanted to put some dates to boxes of cigars where theres a noticeable difference from the new stuff.
