I'm pretty familiar with the dying of maduros and some other tricks of the trade that manufacturers use, but I have never heard of the "adding nicotine" deal. Can you give an example of a cigar like this or explain the process you're referring to?
Same goes for baby oil, I know it has been used by some companies to make cigars appear more attractive in photos, but I have never heard of the actual product being sold being coated in baby oil. In fact, I can't imagine it, because years ago we considered using baby oil in some photos but decided against it as it was horribly messy to work with and rendered the cigars unsmokable (by our standards.) Any further insight on these methods would be appreciated.
