I would like to inject a note for thought also - "cooking" the leaves to accelerate the fermentation process which naturally produces oily sugary wrappers, manufacturers will also add sugar. So although dye may be added, don't be so quick to judge. Saliva and/or combined with heat can and will cause the sugar/oils to be pulled from the wrapper.

I'm a maduro fan. So no doubt I have had my fair share of dye induced wrappers - I don't get stains. I don't wet, lick or otherwise slobber on my cigars - dry lips I guess.

Anyway - just something for thought.
