Re: Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold
Thoughts?
Your local B&M is either clueless or blowing smoke up your a$$.

Re: Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold
No, he is dead serious. To the point he called his local LFD rep, who then also confirmed it was plume.
I just thought it was a very good example of mold and thought I would share it with the forum. |

Re: Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold
Mistaking mold for plume is, unfortunately, a somewhat common occurrence, and while this sort of mistake is unfortunate for the average J. Doe that goes into a cigar store to buy their 2 cigars a month, for the proprietor of a B&M, or worse, a cigar rep, to adamantly believe that mold is plume, the ignorance is inexcusable.

You might, but there are a lot of people who don't make the connection. Most people associate mold with a darker colored growth. Green, blueish, black, somewhere in that spectrum. A lot of people forget, or never know, that mold comes in white (slice a tomato and leave it out) and many other colors too. Then they hear legends and stories of this elusive, almost mythical whitish thing called "plume" that supposedly does magical things to cigars, so they search for it. Sometimes the descriptions they are given are incorrect, sometimes they are vague, so when they finally run across a cigar with some kind of **** stuck on it, they fly right past the "hey wait a second, this looks kind of odd..." and go into rejoice mode, and so the legend propagates. ...or they are just f-ing retarded. |

Re: Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold
I have never encountered plume but from what I have been told its like a powdered sugar distributed ALL over a cigar...
When sticks have perfectly rounded growths (colonies I believe is the term) it should be pretty easy to identify it as mold... If my B & M operator tried to sell me sticks like those from above I would kindly leave... and never return... |

Re: Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold
I agree that if you have to ask, its mold. Mold, mold, mold... A local B&M near me runs a humidifier in their humidor constantly, and all of the cigars in its vicinity are moldy. Some of the guys say it is plume. It is definitely not.
Whether to smoke a moldy stick is a personal decision - if it were me anything more than a small spot is too much...

Re: Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold
If it is raised, it is mold.
If it is very splotchy, it is mold. Plume is distributed evenly, and sparkles under a light. There are well known vendors that don't even know the difference. Here is a video showing plume (on a 1970's cigar). Last edited by Brandon; 12-12-2012 at 06:21 AM. |
