601 Blue reblend?

[BigCat]

I stopped in a local B&M yesterday to pick up a couple 601 blue lables, as I was considering buying a box and wanted to smoke a couple more before committing. They were cleaned out. I asked the guy running the shop when they would get more in - he said the line was done, that they were being renamed and repackaged, and that the blend was being changed. He said it was being made milder. That was the first I'd heard of this. I knew there was a merger with Rocky Patel and EO, but I thought blends were supposed to remain unchanged. I googled it today and found this video:

Rocky says the blue label isn't changing. I don't think he'd be the first cigar maker to claim a blend was the same when it wasn't. Has anyone heard anything else on this, one way or the other? I'd be pretty disappointed if they reblended these.
