The Chanel quip was just a play on words. Hand lotion would be more the actual suspect, and with reason that a roller might want to use it..
You say the question keeps coming up, which would indicate a reoccurring problem. I guess it's not that I think torcedors don't know better... it's more like wondering if one just didn't care over and above her/his own discomfort from dry hands.
If you want to go on record saying it's not possible, I accept that as your outlook on it however much I might disagree.
I have serious doubts about the "import vendor" alternate theory, though, for reasons already explained. And, frankly, if you feel you can absolutely rule out the rolling table because torcedors know better, why would you assume that cigar vendors don't?
Let me also add that the perfuminess manifested itself throughout the entire length of the cigars in question. That counter-indicates the touch of a perfumed finger here and there. It is ingrained in the construction of the cigars.
