Abstract
A cigar wrapper is provided having opposed surfaces and a predetermined thickness, said wrapper having a vein-like pattern embossed through the thickness thereof resulting in a raised, vein-like pattern formed on one of the surfaces and a complimentary depressed vein-like pattern formed on the opposite surface. The one surface of the wrapper is treated with colorants to simulate a natural tobacco leaf, and the depressed vein-like pattern on the opposite surface is filled with a filler material. In a preferred embodiment, a second sheet of manufactured cigar wrapper material is laminated in juxtaposition to the opposite surface of the decorated sheet.
