Mold vs. Bloom (Plume)

Very nice shots! Mold, but you already knew that.

Looks like mold! Cool photos too!

Mold.

Now find a cigar with plume (bloom) and photograph it to show the difference.

Wow. Those have to be some of the best pictures of white mold on cigars that I've seen. A must see for anyone getting into cigars with questions on mold vs plume. FWIW I wiped off some white mold a few weeks ago and no probs to date, cigars smoke and taste fine. Course it hadn't got to the foot.

Found this on Google Images "Cigar Plume" It's pretty obvious the differences. Reminds me of the super fine sand you get in the nasty middle east sand-storms
