If I remember the one on the right is the pepin rolled with the red block Padilla, the one with gold fancy Padilla is the new label. If your 3rd stick has the red block Padilla with additional numbers below the band it is the oscuro, little more rare.

I forgot to add that the great KPP hooked me up with a few of these rare Oscuro's and he hasn't let me forget since.

I saw some on the right in a shpo in MI. I bought one to see how it was due to the box not being signed by Pepin. I believe every box he did was signed. It was not awesome as the original but looked like the original. I asked the owner about them and he said they were not. He said what I thought. The box was not signed. He also stated that they kept the label the same right after Pepin stopped rolling for them for several boxes before changing to the label on the left. He said he had about 5 boxes that were not signed and tasted just like the new ones he had gotten iin. he had some originals and compared them and he said there was no comparison to the old. So therefore I was led to believe there were several boxes out there with the old band but boxes werte not signed so they were newly rolled.

Any opinions on this?

You are correct. Boxes that are from '08 with the uncello sticks and old labels are most likely the new blend. I believe the Pepin sticks were all in cello at that time frame.
