I see what you're saying on that, coffee is an even better example because of how dark it gets.
However, in order for this to dye my hands instantly it was not the natural pigmentation of the cigar working it's way out of the leaf. This had to be something on the exterior of the leaf rubbing off.
Hmmm, I may need to try some 'lab tests' on this....
