Re: Plume or mold?!?
 
I've run into a number of B&Ms that will swear up and down their fuzzy cigars are in bloom or covered in plume, not mold. It pisses me off that they are either ignorant of the truth or intentionally lying. It's not a difficult thing to discerne. Blotches, fuzzy, uneven distribution, all = MOLD. You can see it from across the room. White almost dust looking crystals with even distribution = plume.

I have never ran into this. Although I can see it happening. I went into a liquor store once with a stand up humi. I thought I would grab a cigar for the evening. I stuck my hand it and they were literally wet like sponges. I told the clerk and he seemed to think thats how they were suppose to be. I just left disgusted.

Learned this the "OMG! I've been breathing THAT? I am so out of here." way due to a former landlord that wouldn't properly maintain his properties.

I have no idea though if plume, certain capas or even the pectin will or won't fluoresce also.

:)

Sorry I realized later i should have said this in my original black light post....

What he said.... and to answer his question plume does not fluorense...

That's another strike for me against Famous and I'm pretty sure I'm just not going to order from them anymore.
Just to follow up I got my replacement in yesterday. It was opened, inspected and even had a signed note saying as much. One of the cigars was missing the second band and the wrapper was different than the others. It was rougher looking in texture and the color different. Aside from that all was well. I smoked the ugly one last night so I didn't have to be seen with an ugly cigar. :D

Now all that remains is for them to get my returned sampler and get a refund for the replacement.
