Grit?

Had another MBIII last night and had same experience....along with some 'unorthodox' thoughts about this. I haven't had any Tat blacks or Oliva cloth-labels, but I have had plenty of 601 Blues and MBIII's. Examining the MBIII last night it occurred to me that the wrapper on these (AND on the 601 Blues) is extremely smooth - almost unnaturally so.

Seems strange to suggest, but is there any chance that these cigars are "sanded"? Perhaps lightly rubbed with an extratordinarily fine grit paper or cloth?
