"The cigar is very dark and shiny, but looking at it I get the distinct impression that the wrapper is dyed. The color of the wrapper is not consistent, and the top half of the cigar has almost a barber pole appearance. The wrapper itself is rather veiny, but the shine makes it look almost smooth."

I have noticed this on several other cigars as well. I am almost certain that on certain cigars I have noticed a kind of sheen that looked painted on to make them appear oily. Apparently they rush the job and don't get consistant coverage.
