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.

You're playing with fire son...

Actually, it's "Mortadella Moe."

And just when I thought I knew the difference between mold and plume.....


Now I clearly have no clue.

Oh btw, NO I'm not being a wise A$$.......
[Reply]

I thought it was "Marinara Moe"

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.

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.

I think Rob looks good in a wig... Now his sister? Here teeth are so yellow she could butter a whole loaf of bread...

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).

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.
[Reply]

Was the cigar expensive? i hope you write a review of it; i've never seen it before.
[Reply]

No confusing those teeth, I was like AJ the first time I saw them... I thought it was PLUME!
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

How well can you know teeth? There are so few in your geographic area.:-)
[Reply]

It is white and/or dust like. http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...0005#post80005
