Is this plume?
 

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.

Mold. Wipe it off and light them up.

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

I am sad to say, that is not plume.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Something tells me rat was making a funny.:sl

Re: Is this plume?
 

No Steve, it's not plume.

Looks like mold.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

LOL

Re: Is this plume?
 

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.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

Looks good!!!;)

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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:

Re: Is this plume?
 

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.

Re: Is this plume?
 

Looks good. Ppp at Bob's?

Re: Is this plume?
 

Nice review.:tu

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

Cello off.

Re: Is this plume?
 

Tasty! :tu

Re: Is this plume?
 

It's coccaine, Steve.

Re: Is this plume?
 

Mmm, laced cigars. :dr

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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?"

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

You would be correct. It's not.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

You buyin? :D

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.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

Agreed...idiots.

Re: Is this plume?
 

huh? I thought the proper term was bloom.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

how do they blend this cigar?

Re: Is this plume?
 

With raw meat.

Re: Is this 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.

Good link with good pictures and examples.

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

Plume.

Re: Is this plume?
 

MMMmmmm. Ploom.

Re: Is this plume?
 

Blume.

Re: Is this plume?
 

So.... it really is bloom then!

Re: Is this plume?
 

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

Re: Is this plume?
 

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