Is this plume?

[Ratters]

I've had this box ageing down next to my moisten-aire in the tower humi for the last couple years. Just remembered it so decided to grab an afternoon smoke. Couple of the smokes looked like they had plume on them. Gonna enjoy one this evening I think.

It should help you fight any bacterial infections!:tu

[Cornrow_Wallis]

Mold. Wipe it off and light them up.

edit. oops. serious reply to not so serious thread I think. :sl:sl

[Flynnster]

I am sad to say, that is not plume.

[Domer]

Mold. Wipe it off and light them up.

unfortunately, i agree. still smokeable though, that's a plus

[acarr]

Something tells me rat was making a funny.:sl

[T.G]

No Steve, it's not plume.

Looks like mold.

[md4958]

Those cigars would pair well with buffalo wings and celery :tu

[Emjaysmash]

LOL

[tobii3]

Mold.

Quick wipe on your t-shirt and ready to smoke.

Now, if there is mold on/in the FOOT of the cigar, get to choppin'.

Mold on the wrapper is common. Happens to all of us when a stick or twelve get too close to the humidifier....Murphy's Law sorta thing.

I don't know, when I was at the B&M I saw cigars like this and the guy said it was plume.

Is that an arrow pointing out plume on cigar #1? :hm

[Skywalker]

Looks good!!!;)

[Ratters]

It is. Smoking the top one right now. Sadly the bottom one had it on the foot. Think I'm gonna feed that one to the rabbit. :D

[markem]

looks like mumps. that means that your cigars are going through their sick period. They'll be stellar if you don't disturb them for a few months. :rolleyes:

[tobii3]

Sadly the bottom one had it on the foot.

Chop first.

I have shipped my sticks from one side of the earth to the other (literally!)Sh*t happens....chop about 1/2" and look closely...should be smokeable after that.

[Adriftpanda]

Looks good. Ppp at Bob's?

[G G]

Nice review.:tu

[Ratters]

I'll save the bottom one just for you. :tu

[weak_link]

Steve you get the troll of the week award. :r :r

[BC-Axeman]

Cello off.

[bobarian]

Tasty! :tu

[massphatness]

It's coccaine, Steve.

[chippewastud79]

It's coccaine, Steve.

Mmm, laced cigars. :dr

[guitar4001]

scrape it off and you'll have a cure for all sorts of illnesses!

That's what they all say :) Had someone say the same thing at the shop around here. Not the owner, one of the part-timers. "Oh no that plume. That means you got a good cigar." :bh Come on man

[Ratters]

Lil' Havana? I like Bob a lot, but he keeps the humidor way too wet.

You mean this is not plume on that one??? Haha but I can't tell if the bottom one is plume. I am going to go with a no.

[Flynnster]

I know this thread was a joke, but I have never actually seen a picture of plume, just lots and lots of mold pictures in threads labeled "Is this plume?"

[Ratters]

Ha, that's why I posted it. Plume is crystaline and shiny, kind of amber colored. They really look nothing alike. Yet the question continues to be asked. :ss

[T.G]

[but I can't tell if the bottom one is plume. I am going to go with a no.


You would be correct. It's not.

[Tyler]

On a more serious level, I think they do a pretty good job in this article explaining the difference and include pictures.

Yes. I agree. Bob is a great guy, but it was one of the guys that's in there one or two days a week. This was a while back and I didn't really know the guy and it wasn't worth it to argue mold v plume. There's a few boxes in there that haven't been touched in probably years and I'm sure it's because they're full of "plume". Definitely too wet in there.

Upgrade that crappy Moist N' Air to a Humidi-Fresh Humidifier. You'll thank me later...

Actually I haven't had the thing filled or on in a long time. The beads seem to take care of things in there just fine.

You're so sweet! Can't wait to smoke this beautiful coc'd out cigar.

[68TriShield]

Agreed...idiots.

[Melissa]

huh? I thought the proper term was bloom.

[HK3-]

Love the typical B&M story about someone explaining plume to me in the shop.... :sl

I want to bring in some bread with the same thing and ask if they will smoke that in their pipe.

I just dug through my pictures hunting for a particular one I had with a great example of the real thing. Can't find it though. :td

[Zeuceone]

how do they blend this cigar?

With raw meat.

I don't know, when I was at the B&M I saw cigars like this and the guy said it was plume.

I've had many of them tell me that. I know what plume is. I've seen it a number of times. I see mold 10 times more often, and they do NOT look anything alike.

On a more serious level, I think they do a pretty good job in this article explaining the difference and include pictures.

http://puffingcigars.com/cigar-faq/bloom-plume-and-mold/70/

Good link with good pictures and examples.

[T.G]

The terms are often used interchangeably, even though they really shouldn't be, since a mold colony "blooms".

[Noodles]

Plume.

[shilala]

MMMmmmm. Ploom.

[BC-Axeman]

Blume.

[kafreeman]

The terms are often used interchangeably, even though they really shouldn't be, since a mold colony "blooms".

So.... it really is bloom then!

[Ratters]

Ha, I almost put bloom in the title, but as Adam said, mold blooms. :ss

[Melissa]

Bloom, blooms, blume, plume, ploom, plooms.....still have no idea what it's like to smoke a cigar with this **** involved.

[NCRadioMan]

Bloom, blooms, blume, plume, ploom, plooms.....still have no idea what it's like to smoke a cigar with this **** involved.

It doesn't affect the taste in any way. It's just a sign that the cigars have been stored well, that's all.

[Melissa]

got it.
just realized that this board will edit my bad cursing habit.

[chippewastud79]

**** yeah!:tu

[shilala]

Mmmm. Ploum. :tu

[Zeuceone]

phlum?

[shilala]

Plouhme. Fo Sho.

[Adriftpanda]

mmm plums.

[chenvt]

it's sort of mold.. The bottom one looks like you had a spider build a nest under the band.. If you see a bunch of small bugs coming out, it's not beetles.

[Skywalker]

Three pages so far!

That's pretty good for one of these!!!

Usually the op is chased off the board by now!!!;)

Obviously that's a super-uber-premium that was rolled with highly aged leaf. ;)

Ahem, it's plume.
