For Mo or anyone else wondering what Plume or Bloom looks like. This was the best shot I could get with this old camera.

Plume is crystal-like and is usually spread evenly over the cigar. Under good light, the crystals will sparkle like diamonds.

Mold is splotchy and is formed unevenly over the cigar. Looks alot like a small spider web. Hair like spores will protrude out then burst and thats how mold spreads.

Feel free to add any info I`ve missed.

nope....not a good pic so send it to me. I have great camera equipment.

Wow, that thing looks like it's been sprinkled with powdered sugar. I have a few The Cigar by Perdomo Churchills that look like that. She'll be one tasty smoke!

That looks YUMMMMMMMMY!!

Wow, that be ploom alright! Enjoy :>)

See how it follows the veins? That's the real deal!

I have never seen that. How long did that take? Those DiMeleo's are a great smoke by the way.

look's like mold pal...

Send it to me ASAP. Don't touch it the mold will spread.SEND IT NOW.

I have that problem from time to time,Why I don't know

Kim

No mold on this one. That's ploom for sure. Mold is spotty looking, not evenly spread out like this.

Frank...

you will get an up close view of plume when I send out those VSG Illusions I got ya... (c:

Now thats what I'm about Jay. Plumed VSG's. Can't wait.

That's the best example of plume/bloom I've seen in a long time ...

... definately not mold.

The construction of this cigar is absolutely beautiful. I can't stop opening this thread.

i was at my local, and he dumped a box of punch oxfords on me for wholesale. said they weren't sellin, that customers thought they had molded. it was plume, so naturally, i took em off his hands.

they are plumed out beautifully. not quite to that extent, but lotsa crystals.

some botl got 1 or 2 in recent bombs.

To answer Frank, I don`t know how long this took. When I got it (a gift on 10/04 from Cavallo, RIP) it has good sparkle, so I put it on the bottom shelf of the fridgadoor since that is where RH is controlled the best. Then when Mo asked about mold, I thought I would take it out and get a photo for him to see. I couldn`t belive my eyes when I saw what it did.

Wow. Just plain wow.

that is the best cigar pic I have ever seen....awesome

I agree with lukin... not only a great looking cigar... but also a nice photograph...

Mike
