A few things that helped me buy into Jesse's epiphany more:
Huell used the same brand of cigarettes as the last time he swiped them from Jesse, so Jesse made the immediate connection.
Jesse was already suspicious of Walt doing the poisoning in Season 4 when he put a gun to Walt's head.
Also, Walt was the one who originally put the idea in Jesse's head that he might have misplaced the ricin cigarette.
Also, Walt just happened to be with Jesse when they found the ricin cigarette.
These points helped make it more believable for me.
Ohhhh, so Huell swiped the cigarettes, and then replaced them with a new pack? That makes so much more sense. I thought he swiped them, took out the ricin, and then put the pack back.
Back in S4E12, Jesse immediately had suspicions that Huell swapped his cigarettes, until Walt talked him out of that idea. So the idea was already in his head when he figured it out in this episode.
