Have anyone experienced that the colour of the cigar vary from one box to another? I just bought a box om monte petit edmundo with box code BUE ENE 08, and they are brighter in coulor than the ones from another box I have with box code USE OCT 07.
That's very common, javel. And don't be surprised if you see some color variation in the same box. In such case they should be getting darker going from right to left.

Sorry, I see now that I didn't use the search function well enough. From what I read these variations are normal.However, it would indeed be interesting if someone could explain to me why the cigars from 08 are lighter than the ones from 07, if there is an explanation!

It has nothing to do with the year. There are dark, light and in-between wrappers grown and harvested every year. Cigars are boxed according to wrapper color for aesthetic value. In other words, dark cigars will be placed in one box, light in another box, etc.

Yes, wrapper color varies from box to box. You should not, however, see a huge variation in wrapper color within the same box -- bad sign.
