I posted earlier on the Cigars board about an experiment to "induce plume" (IP), being a Network Engineer and proficient in IP, I'm hopeful that the experiments will be successful 🙂 I've been working the humidity up slowly quite high (80% or thereabout), after several weeks to a month, I'll back it down to 70 or high 60s and hold it. I've heard that this will force the cigars to plume out. The cigars are an assortment. It should be interesting...

That is an interesting assortment to try this with. I had a Montesino that was a sister to the one you show. Had a very powdery ploom. Bucs get more of a crystaline ploom. None of my IT's have ever ploomed. They do get very oily though. They taste kind of syrupy when like that.
