You can see the beginnings of it as sparkles on your cigars under a good light. When you roll the cigar in your fingers, you will see it "glisten"... It would be tough to pick it up in a digital pic. Especially with the res limitations on the picture posts. You would have to have a pretty major case of it to see it well. And if that were the case, the cigar probably wouldn’t be long for this world :-)
