Once your reach a level 5 torcedor (or Torcedora for women), you are so familiar with the crop's selection and production that you can pretty much guess the results of the blend. With that said, they do "test" blends on new marcas / sizes prior to deciding the final blend.
Of course, as crops rotate the blends try to remain the same but the flavor profile would obviously change due to new crops & tobacco stains.
I hope this helps
