What do they paint them with?

It seems the dye is a molasses looking deal and some add sugar to it for the Maduro sweetness. Also can be steamed for Maduro appearance 60-120 minutes at 180 degrees F . Some sites say its easy to tell if they are dyed as it will leave a slightly brown residue on the smokers lips/hands ...I have never personally experienced that ....
