Plume!

[poker]

Looking at the picture provided, its not plume. Plume is a naturally occuring by-product of long-term cigar aging. As the cigar's naturally present oils are exuded through the wrapper and dry forming crystals. There is no way it can form on the paper cigar band.

Ive actually gone by all these names at one point or another in my career. And Rob, it wasnt "Broken", its just your sister couldnt get me to "rise to the occasion" cause she looks like you in a wig.

Moe, I think the wig your old lady wears, the one Ape's old lady wears and the entirely different one my sister wears has you confused. All those wigs...I can see how it could happen.

How well can you know teeth? There are so few in your geographic area.

AJ, I gotta say my friend, I have never - in almost 30 years - never seen plume on a band. That's the first hint that something is amiss. While it may not be mold, it isn't plume. If it looks crystilline under a magnifying glass, then there is probably something in the humidification system.

I suppose you think sandwiches plume as well?

If it looks like stripper glitter... you got the good stuff.
If you don't recognize stripper glitter, get thee to the club to research properly.
If it looks like dust, quit watching the Golden Girls reruns and thinking dust or mold is sexy. (See the Hog for Sexy Prune-like Bea Arthur "sexy-time" verification).

As Pete said, plume will look like stripper glitter. Hard to see sometimes if it's not in the right light, even hard to photograph. Plume never looks dust like or white, it is just crystalline and clear-ish.

Since we're on he subject...

Here's a cigar I've been keeping for the past 4 years that I believe is showing signs of plume:



Here's the celo showing signs of yellowing:



Does this look right?

Never in my experience. Mine looked just like Moki's Opus in the picture (the white spots only look that way when photographed as they are just the light reflecting off of the crystals. They were clear crystals and only the ones with light reflecting off of them showed up in pictures and looked just like that. Never looked white or dust like to the eye.

I have seen many that did and smoked a few.

[Sauer Grapes]

You can see the "white" spots that are the few crystals that are reflecting the light at that angle. The cigar was "covered" in plume. I wish I could find a better picture, but that's all I have. Hopefully the pic works, as it took a while to pull up on my computer.
