IIRC, most of the filler is the same or very similar, maybe different primings though. The 9, 52, UC, MF4, L40, etc all have very similar blends. The wrappers are different, I can't remember about the binder.
I can't remember which lines it was, but I recall there was one where they flip-flopped the binder and wrapper, meaning if cigar 1 had high-priming binder from country A and mid-priming wrapper from country B, cigar 2 used upper mid / lower top-priming B for the wrapper and mid priming A for the binder? I forget if that was DE that did that for this cigar or it might have been something that someone else did.
