Plume or Bloom vs. Mold

Will CC exhibit " possibly" more plume because these have been rolled with fresher cigars, with more oils to marry through the layers of the cigar? As I understand it NC cigar components are aged prior to rolling and moistened for the process of making a cigar. Can the plume happen in the bundle while aging already and be " washed" away with with moistening, and hence you will never see plume in that cigar.... This is a hobby to me, and I like to educate myself as much as I can about my hobbies. These aren't Q's for the sake of argument, these are Q's that I have come up with while trying to grasp this portion of the hobby. It's just picking the brains of all the collective knowledge here. Maybe I'm reading too much into the whole plume thing, LMK if I am, thanks for the inputs of everyone.

Considering there are more than 400,000 types of mold in existence, it would be plausible that cellophane could attract certain species because of it's organic make-up. Cellophane is made from processed cellulose, a medium that mold just loves to grow on/in. Here's more about mold: http://www.advancedmoldinspections.c...s_of_mold.html
