What the heck is this even? ​

I mean, it's an LFD Salomon Unico, but who the heck wants to smoke a Care Bear cigar? I don't think there are very many 8 year old cigar connoisseurs to market this to. 😆 Is there a specific term for this kind of cigar leaf art? More importantly, will it actually smoke decently without falling apart? I assume the patterns are created by contrasting an outer and inner wrapper and cutting the outer, but I don't know enough about the craft of rolling to be sure how it works. Anyone smoked one? I like an LFD now and then when I feel like punching myself in the face with nicotine, but I can't say I've ever tried or even seen these before. I did not buy one.

I think I found the target market for these.

The patterns may be created during fermentation by covering parts of the wrapper so it ends up a different color. I believe that is how Davidoff created the stripes on their Year of the Tiger release. If you cut shapes out of the wrapper I don’t see how they wouldn’t fall apart while smoking.

Looking more closely at the picture, some of the shapes (particularly the candela ones) look like pieces glued onto the base wrapper.
