ive seen it before.
tasted bitter?
Nicotine
i think i read somewhere that wet "cooked" nicotine is that color.
my other impression is tar.
but Nicotine seems to stand out in my mind.

I've noticed similar stuff to that on the end of my cigar occasionaly. I always thought it was excess saliva and tobacco oils mixed together. No idea what you got there Travis. Maybe a chunk of oil/resin/goo from a cigar that somehow aged a differently than the others in the box?
I had that happen on a 5vegas limitada, I would wipe it away, puff and more would appear. Very bitter taste.
Got a nice letter from Madonna Archer at CAO saying she has never seen this before. Nice to know they read there email.
Did you use a punch?? it looks like you have a somewhat of a small opening. That will concentrate tar etc. If there is a thick leaf stem right there it might ooze like that, especially if the cigar is fresh.
I've had that happen a couple of times. Sometimes when it is a larger ring cigar, and you use a punch cut, there is a build up of tar that forms from the smoke only being able to go through a small exit. I've only had it happen on 50 + rings that I've used a punch with, s well a couple torps that I didn't cut enough off of.
that's my take on it at least.

I've had it a few times but never cared too much. I think it occurs mostly when I scrape off the cap instead of cutting/clipping it. I always thought it was just like a tar build up.
To fix I use a Xikar multi-tool scissors and just give a little "freshen up" cut.

I haven't seen that since I bought a 6 pack of Antonio y Cleopatra Grenadiers about 10 years ago. Those things did that at least 50% of the time.
