Question for Gran Habano Smokers

Last night I opened a new box of Gran Habano #5 Rothschilds. The box that I had finished was purchased in June of 2007, I do not know what date was stamped on the box since I disposed of it when it was empty. The box that I loaded into my humidor last night was dated Jan 08, 2008. Even though I had inspected these cigars when received, this was the first time that I noticed that the band had changed. The newer cigars had much less of the gold embossing and the side panels of the band have some color on them now. Has anyone else noticed this and have any information as to why this was done?
 
I can't say, BUT I'm expecting a new box of #3 Churchills tomorrow, so I'll compare the labels in the new box to the older ones I still have.
