Mold/plume ?

Rhamlin

How can you tell the diff? Is plume a good thing? I've seen it mentioned along with crystals forming is this just from aging?And should you wipe it off if you get it? Seeing as how I only got a 25 count humidor I doubt I'll get the chance to see it but I'm curious.

mold is 3D...plume is more like a fine looking powder that can be easily brushed off.

When in doubt, smoke it out.

White mold is more common than any other mold on cigars, in my experience. Plume is also farrrr less common than mold. Most people aren't going to ever see plume in their humidor. Most will see mold at some point.

Mold is 3D and fluffy; plume is 2D and dusty

I had a friend who opened up his travel 40ct herf-a-dor today and there was white mold all on his cigars!! There is no way you could mistake that crap!! White and fluffy!

Mold for sure on the R&J, I still have my doubts about the second picture. It looks a little to fuzzy for my taste. I may be wrong, I could tell better with the cigar in hand.

So are the sticks still smokeable after mold gets on them or do you got to trash em?
