Does anyone know what these marks on my cigar are?

Hi,

Smoked a fantastic BBF a couple of days ago, it had some marks on it which looked a bit like abrasions. Has anyone seen anything like this please shed some light. The cigar smoked beautifully and tasted fantastic.

“These stains are caused by a lack of moisture during the drying process of the leaves, resulting in the attachment of a yellowish pigmentation.”

Acne. That's clearly a 15 year old cigar. Enjoy!
