Uhhh @Lee.mcglynn those are not good to smoke. For your health please box them up and send them to me. I will make sure they are properly disposed of.

Shiny mold is a blight on humanity, fortunately for all involved there is a US Government run shiny mold incinerator just down the street from me. When you send them to me please double wrap those rascals so shiny mold can be stamped out in our lifetime.
it is real, just watched a special on mainstrem media
Too also make note on looking to buy. Go to your b&m find the ugliest most toothy wrapper and you should be set! If I want plume I can look at a wrapper and tell 9 out of 10 times it will plume at some point. Just remember as said it shows up the best under light at a angle so don't get dicuraged too soon
Does mold versus plume show up differently under UV light? I have a UV flashlight somewhere that shows up various defects pretty well on green coffee beans.

Happy Sunday! New on this forum just picked this up from Canada.. What ya think?
Looks like mold to me. I'd wipe it down and keep it separate from your other cigars. I wouldn't put it back in the tubo.

Hard to tell, but looks Ike mold. The cedar sleeve and tubo adds to my suspicion too; they can cause problems with mold due to too little airflow and trapping moisture.
However, it is not bad at all. As long as the foot is all clear, wipe it off, keep the cedar off, and watch it or smoke soon.
This is mold!! Do what you want but keep it at a low rh and low temp or just smoke now! Also always inspect your cigars before you buy them or this will happen a lot!
Thank you all! Did not expect this at all from a reputable shop . It may be ok to smoke but I really dont want to risk it.
Mid you don't want to smoke it, I'm sure there are several members here that would dispose of it for you.

I just got off the phone with the store and they assure me that this is "NORMAL" and it is indeed "plume".. I don't buy it.. They said mold cannot be white and checked other cigars in tubes and they are ALSO covered with same stuff.. LOL...Guess I won't buying any tube cigar from this place in winnipeg, Canada.
Bummer. Stores should know better and I guess it is my fault for not inspecting. But even if I did, I would have believe them.. lol.. Lesson learned.. Don't think they will issue a refund and it's not worth it for me to cross the boarder again for exchange.

Not worth the taxes they add on either. I would stop buying from this vendor. Mold is in the foot it seems so I wouldn't smoke it either unless u clip the foot before u smoke it.
This vendor needs edgeumakated.

B&M are not always right I have a local shop here that has just a display humi and you can see the humidifier and here we have hard water and on the humidifier you can see that they are NOT using distilled water there is hard water white crust all over it .I saw that and walk right out and will not return there
Another cigar forum is taking a scientific approach to the "mold vs plume" debate, and has approached a Mycologist to help with this project.
I encourage everyone to follow the project as it progresses. It looks like they have a solid approach and hopefully they get some good information & data and are able to draw some solid conclusions at the end of the project.
Interesting thread, thanks. Not sure about the blacklight claims, I've used a UV flashlight to look for mold on green coffee, but I could find little guidance on usage and the silverskin / chaff also lights up under UV light.
