I'm sorry bro, I'm not sure I can see what you are referring to by that photo.

If you mean the discoloration around the veins in the wrapper, that's not uncommon on the darker wrappers. I'm not positive as to why it happens, but I have an idea- and that is that because of the vein in the wrapper, it creates a slightly larger air space in the fermentation pylon, and that airspace results in a lower tempratue or less fermentation, either of which are going to result in a different color. It's also possible that the different cellular structure of the vein might be the cause of the discoloration.

I don't think you have anything to worry about though.

BTW, Looks like an Oliva band... no?
