I used to be a huge Pepin Ho and about a year ago I just started to kind of find myself smoking his stuff less and less especially when I felt like my favorite (Pepin Blue) changed significantly. A few months ago I picked one of these up and it reignited my love for Pepin although I have not been smoking his regular line stuff as much but the Jaimes have become a part of the regular rotation.
Who knows you could have just gotten a few freshies. It happens especially with sticks with a high demand. I know the Room 101 Conjuras were shipped green and even the rep agreed that they could use a bit if down time so in these times when the demand is high for some of these smokes I think some of the manufacturers are pushing them out to quickly to keep up with the demand although I myself would rather fall behind in stocking stores than stocking the shops with a product that could possibly turn my loyal customer base off but it's easy for me to say from the other side of the fence.

agreed 100%
this and changing blends/ wrapper once a stick is established (think rp, padilla) Wish more owners/gm's would realize this and stop messing with the stuff I like
