Thread restarted from cigar related thread. So its white and brushes off not leaving any stain on the wrapper. I think its plume.

I believe it's mold Plume doesn't have a definite shape

UGH FRIGGIN' MOLD!!! 🐴

uh oh

mold. as long none has entered the foot of the cigar just wipe it away and smoke. (If it was the blueish mold I would just toss it)

plume is more like a light dusting of powdered sugar over the cigar

definitely mold. sorry dude.

mold

pluld

I agree def. mold....I had a LA aurora red tube this past weekend with plume on it. It looks more liks dust but a little harder to wipe of then dust. IF i didn't nub it down to the last 3/4 inch I could have sent a pitcher.

Combo.....

^^^^^ +1 ^^^^^



Like the other said, Plume would cover the gar or areas of the gar just like dust would cover something that's been sitting for awhile. Not in blotches or dots like in the pic.

Yep mold......I find this frequently with AF Chateau SG's just under the cedar wrap.Always white and is easily wiped off.To date it has not affected the cigar IMO.I have also found that Montecristo Habana's are prone to this.Again I wipe it off and no ill effects.

That is mold,however,it is not blue mold,which will cause taste changes in the cigar.
The white mold,while not disireable,doesn't affect taste. Just brush it off and you're good to go. X🌫

also... try to reduce the humidity in your humis ?

Niceely said and great advice here.

Dude, you sure that's not your johnson with a coulpe cigar bands around it ????????? That chit looks like gonorrhea.:-&

LOL FML. The cigar came like that from my local cigar shop only the ones in the tube have the acclaimed plume. None of the other cigars in the shop do....Why would that be and why the hell would they say its plume? The RH in my humidor has never gone over 72 and is currently at 68 -69. Luckily none of my other cigars have been affected. Probably because its in a tube. So I should brush it off and put back in the humi to see if it comes back?

I bet if you leave it on & smoke it you would be trippin maybe for a while..........TRIPPIN on cigar mold !

100% mold.

Plume is rather rare. You will know it when you see it (compared to this pattern of mold).

In any event, plume, in and of itself means little to nothing. Most properly stored and aged cigars never exhibit it but still smoke very well.

Wipe it off and smoke it right away to prevent anything from contaminating your other cigars. Get the others and those that it came in contact with out of your humi. Right away! Smoke them away to get rid of them fast...
