Default Re: Pin-stripe cigars...

Multi-wrapper, dual wrapper, split-wrapper (which can be somewhat of a misnomer - but it stuck), are the terms to typically describe cigars with "bands" of wrappers:

Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta
La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Tabaqueros

Tabak Especial Cafe con Leche

(note the three sections - dark, light, dark)

In this case, a capa (wrapper) is applied to the cigar in a regular fashion, then a smaller, second section of another capa is applied over the top to create the effect.



Then you have manufacturers who combine both and just don't seem to know when the F to stop gluing pieces down...
