Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Ask him to recommend you one.....he pry knows what is smoking good and knows something of your tastes.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Got a noob question:
What is "plume" on a cigar? How does it come about and is it a bad thing? Thanks in advance guys!

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Plume happens when the oils of the cigar crystallize on the wrapper and it is a good indication that the cigars have been kept in proper conditions. However, some cigars plume fairly easily after a few years and others never will. It does not affect taste.
The only cigars I have that have any indication of plume are some special release Pepin Blue Label lanceros from '07. I have other lanceros in the same box that have no indication of plume.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I'll add a noob question as well...is there a clear distiction between plume and mold? I've noticed that before, but never had a clue as to what it was.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Mold will be patchy, fuzzy, matte, have depth to it, form unevely, can come in any number of colors: white, yellow, brown, black, green, blue. Plume will be a very even whiteish almost crystal like "dust" that will cover the wrapper evenly.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Noob Question: When it comes to freezing...how many of you freeze? and would it be bad to extend the duration of all the periods (12,24-48, 12-24)...I may have gone a little crazy on the devil site...in turn causing me to purchase a new humi and I need to season it to hold my incoming purchase?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Every stick in my house goes through a 72 hour minimum freeze before it sees the humis.
