Plume?- I THINK NOT

[Dukeuni]

I just purchased the Tampa Sweetheart Cigar Co. Anejo sampler last week, and the cigars came in yesterday. I have never had a Anejo 77 "Shark" before, or even seen one. The 77 is a AMAZING looking cigar, I was just really impressed.

As I normally do, I decided to do some research on the cigar, and get people's reviews. During my searching I found a picture posted on Flickr that just made me sad. Just the fact that so many people get confused with plume and mold is somewhat understandable, but would you ever think that this picture was plume?-

And of course the comment from the poster-

"Arturo Fuente Anejo Shark 77 (Ploom everywhere!)"

[TRicker]

Thats impressive!!:rolleyes:

Never would I think that was plume.

[icehog3]

MMMMMM....."Plumey"!!! :dr




:r :r :r :r

[Nabinger16]

Yeah, that's not good! When his Shark grows so much "plume" it gets up and walks away, I wonder if he'll realize the difference.

What do you think the chances are that some non caring arrogant B&M owner told him that was actually plume?

[Dukeuni]

When the photo's come from a company, or owner of a company, that specializes in custom wheels for crazy cars, I bet he only cared about the "price" and "aging" of the cigars he purchased.

That's because it's PLOOM.

[cle_smoker]

Sad, sad, sad.

[AD720]

Yum! White, splotchy ploom everywhere! Even in the foot! :tg

[NCRadioMan]

Ignorance is bliss.

[SmokinCozy]

What to call plume that makes it on the foot :hm

[mcmoyer]

Had some cheese with ploom all over it.

:r

[Hardcz]

Wish I had that cigar, I could use the penicillin..

All whale sharks have white spots...I wouldn't worry.

Look at it this way, if he gets strep throat he can just lick his cigars and he'll be right as rain in a couple days.

[karmaz00]

that looks like the other stuff

[e-man67]

WOW...even plume on the band of the foot! :dr I actually think that is the RARE Fuente Leopard edition......:ss

[landhoney]

That black Z06 is sick. :dr

[Sauer Grapes]

Gee, apparently plume even grows on the red ribbon, huh?

[smokeyandthebandit05]

I feel so bad for that shark and yeah its kinda obvious its mold. So far my only shark doesnt have mold but I need to check it again :confused:

Wait, that's not plume?:confused:

[WildBlueSooner]

I did but I'm probably just a "hater." :r

[WildBlueSooner]

Yeah you are just jealous of his "ploom"! :r

[ucla695]

Definitely not plume and the Anejo wrappers are susceptible to mold. They should have known better.

[hotreds]

Poor guy seems all excited about his "aged" Anejo full of whatever. First thing someone should tell him is plume won't develop in 5 months!

[SmokinApe]

lol @ 5 months being "aged"

[acruce]

It doesn't look anything like plume.I don't see how anyone could even mistake it for plume. :confused:

[coreyb]

The 90% humidity in the bourbon barrel is the secret.

[troutbreath]

That's a shame.

That's OK, I read older folks need less sleep anyway. ;)

How old is that and what vitola? Looks more like dust from the pic, but it's hard to tell without the reflection of light off of the plume.

No clue, found it off the net, brother. It looked like ploom to me.

No problem.

Best plume pic I've seen.
