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.

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.

Looks good!!!:-)

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. :-)

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. :-)

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.
