This could be true if it comes off the same plantation.

If all those wrappers are on the same blend, I would contend there wouldn't be much difference in the basic flavor. It's one leaf compared to many, many more inside.
Take Padron for example, I have opened many boxes of maduros that were lighter than the naturals. And vice-versa yet, if you picked up a Padron Maduro that is very dark and one that is very light, they taste virtually the same.
A certain leaf can come in many different shades, yet taste the same.
