so I'm smoking this cigar right now and I take a look at the ash, and all over it are little white dots. Is this plume or something I should be worried about? There is nothing on the wrapper to indicate what it is but I've never seen this on my ash before

Was it a Torano?

Sometimes on the Torano Sig., if you look closely at the ash....there are little dots that form in the ash.

Nothing to be worried about, for I think it is just the way the leaf burns.

not a Torano, although I am having one tonight. No this was an extra cheap short filler Rosa Cuba Ortiz and Laboy that I picked up for twenty cents a stick awhile back. They are o.k. great for the price, but I'm glad I only have six left

Little pockets of oils in the wrapper burn to form the white dots. Sumatran wrappers usually have them, and maybe cameroons, too.
