Not another plume or mold thread. I was curious what is the youngest cigar you have had in your collection with plume?

I have yet to see it in person. Now granted the oldest cigar I have is maybe 2 yrs. I have bought or been gifted older ones but still have yet to see plume.

Based upon my anecdotal evidence I don't think that age is the prime factor in plume. I have some pretty old cigars in my collection (i.e. +20 YO) and none of them have plume on them. I vaguely recall that oils and moisture in the wrapper are what become plume. I will say that I haven't seen plume on any CC's in my collection. Could be that I keep the humidity around 60% and the temp low between 60 and 70 F. Others can probably give you more information. JMO

I keep my humidity around 60 also. Temp is mostly at 64. I have a mix of cc and nc and my nc collection is definitely older then my cc. At least in my possession it is.

I've had 2 and both around the 3 year age, one kept cooler than the other. I have multiples of each of those cigars, but plume only on one of each. Got me baffled. I have older cigars and none of them have plume.

My entire box of VSG's were loaded with plume at about year 3.........Now at year 5 they appear to have been dipped in sugar.Unfortunately that box is almost gone and my dumbass failed to buy a replacement box a couple years ago.

I had a box of Perdomo2 Maduro Torfecto's that plumed very young......under 2 years.Sadly those have been gone a long time and that line was dropped.The naturals were my favorite.

As for Habano's the only sticks that I've ever had plume were some LGC MDO2's............I forgot about the last 5 or so,after being forgotten about for 3 or 4 years they plumed out big time.Makes me wish I wouldn't have smoked the others so young.These were definately the cream of the crop.

I agree. I bought some MBII'2 in Key West in March 2008 that had some plume on them. You do the math.

I've got some partial boxes of Opus with plume. They are all 7-12 years old now and they plumed within the last couple of years.

I have some cojuno 2012 maduros that have plume on them. The capas, not so much.

Agree here. Age is not necessarily the major factor. Some cigars never plume. Some tend to plume pretty quickly (VSG's in my experience). I have had a few cc's with a very light plume.....almost just looked dull and dusty. Most of the plumed cigars I have or have run into are non-C's.

One of my local B&Ms has about 4-5 different Tats with plume showing on them. Can't remember which ones but I think I remember they were the Miami's in particular. Not sure of the age.

I got a box of mag48s where about bottom half of the was covered in plume. Other than that, maybe a few tats. I've never had a VSG plume, but I always leave them in the cello. Does that affect things 😉

It's never plume.

About 3 years or so, but I'm strictly humi (no cooler/tupper/wineador), so every once in a while, my sticks get Tetris-ed, which definitely affects plume formation. And I have as of yet to see plume form on a cello-ed stick. I'm sure it can happen, but you'd have to leave that sucker motionless for several years.
