Is this plume?

Ratters · 02-08-2011, 07:46 PM

I've had this box ageing down next to my moisten-aire in the tower humi for the last couple years. Just remembered it so decided to grab an afternoon smoke. Couple of the smokes looked like they had plume on them. Gonna enjoy one this evening I think.

Is that an arrow pointing out plume on cigar #1?

Looks good!!!

Mold.

Quick wipe on your t-shirt and ready to smoke.

Now, if there is mold on/in the FOOT of the cigar, get to choppin'.

Mold on the wrapper is common. Happens to all of us when a stick or twelve get too close to the humidifier....Murphy's Law sorta thing.

I am sad to say, that is not plume.

T.G · 02-08-2011, 07:54 PM

No Steve, it's not plume.

Looks like mold.

Those cigars would pair well with buffalo wings and celery

I don't know, when I was at the B&M I saw cigars like this and the guy said it was plume.

That's what they all say

Had someone say the same thing at the shop around here. Not the owner, one of the part-timers. "Oh no that plume. That means you got a good cigar."

Come on man

I've had many of them tell me that. I know what plume is. I've seen it a number of times. I see mold 10 times more often, and they do NOT look anything alike.

Chop first.

I have shipped my sticks from one side of the earth to the other (literally!)Sh*t happens....chop about 1/2" and look closely...should be smokeable after that.
