I don't believe that these are dyed. Your own smoking experience even seems to indicate that they probably aren't.

I've smoked a few of these, and never had any indication of the use of dye in the capa leaf. Not saying definatively that they aren't, nor that Bloggy McBlogger didn't have something come off on his hands, be it dye or just the leaf. You get any of these leaves moist enough, a colored substance will come out of them, go toss a yard gar into a bucket of water and squish it and swish it around for a bit and see what happens. So, a bit of color transfer in and of itself doesn't mean that the cigar was dyed. If you want to see a dyed cigar, go pick up a 5 Vegas Gold Maduro or a Partagas Black.

The whole dye thing is often blown out of proportion anyway. The dye is actually made from the crushed down stalks of the tobacco plant, so you're just painting tobacco with tobacco (yo dog...).
