Bump time again. Just read on another thread someone state that you can wipe off plume. I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. You can wipe off mold sometimes but not plume. Right? I have not re-read this entire thread again just yet so forgive me if the answer is a few pages back in here somewhere. but I thought this was a great old thread that needed bumping. Lots of good info and pics. Lots of new guys need to see this.
This noob found some fuzzy white mold on half a box of naked sticks recently. Just the foot. Clipped them. About three quarters of an inch off the end. Inspected them closely with a magnifying glass and they looked ok inside where I had clipped them. And they are smoking wonderfully. I searched a few threads here On the forum the day it happened. Thanks to all the info available on our wonderful forum I was able to remain calm and carry on. Yay forum!
Just to add but some pieces of plume can get almost the size of sugar crystals...this will more then likely be on the cap area of the cigar but it doesn't just come in a powder form! As long as it sparkles it's good
I agree anything over 70% humidity has the potential for mold. but mold can also be transferred from other things once it is there. Rope is a very hard one to get rid of . I have a Q?
on the shelf in a humi and the wood has a black area but is completely dried out no crusting of removal of the black wood is that old mold that has embedded into the wood ?
70 to 98.3 even to the temp 0f 130 * for some molds technically mold and bacteria is killed at 14 0* or above unless it has formed a toxin. then no high temp will kill it. I will take a pic and show you my shelf
