Hard for me to tell but if it is mold it wouldn't bother me.

It's mold.

Mold, I say. looks more splotchy than crystalized.

Mold. Every one of these "mold or plume" threads invariably ends up being the same... I'd love to see one that actually was plume... :-)

Good afternoon,

I agree with Peter but I have a second question for you -

How was this cigar stored, or in other words, in your opinion, what caused this show up on the cigar?

definately mold. Time to fire it up and dispose of it properly
[Reply]

Not my cigar. Pic was emailed to me. My understanding is that they just arrived from a widely used vendor.
[Reply]

Let me guess...vendor claims their superior storage methods lead to this fantastic plume covered stick!
[Reply]

I'm going with mold too.
[Reply]

Ok, thanks alot for your answer.

LOL, could be!

nice pic...looks good

That is a sweet pic Shawn! I'd say it's pretty easy to tell the difference between mold and plume. Plume is fine, almost looks like fine salt to me. It is evenly dispersed. Mold is splotchy.
