Mold or Plume on these?

Hoping someone can help me determine if I've got mold or plume on these. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HfY6qzcoxvNu2E9R2
I've looked at dozens and dozens of posts and articles and photos about this topic and still can't tell. Mine have a very subtle white/hazy/powdery dusting on them, but if I look really closely, I can see that the white stuff sticks up slightly, like tiny little hairs. Not sure if those are tiny little mold stems or if it's just the crystalline oils sticking up. Thanks in advance for any help!

Interesting. Most likely mold, but I'd probably, no...certainly simply wipe it off and smoke one.WARNING: The above post may contain thoughts or ideas known to the State of Caliphornia to cause seething rage, confusion, distemper, nausea, perspiration, sphincter release, or cranial implosion to persons who implicitly trust only one news source, or find themselves at either the left or right political extreme.

Plume will be even, not splotchy like that.
If looking at it closely, you see anything sticking up, like hair, it is mold.
Shine a light on it, if it sparkles, it's ploom. No sparkle, mold.
The splotches on the uncut end of the cigar indicate mold.
Wipe it off, it will still smoke well, as long as the mold hasn't gotten into the foot.

I was under the impression that if you have to ask then it’s mold1

Hate to burst y'alls bubble.....but there is NO SUCH THING AS PLUME.
It's all either mold or bacteria.

That's some pretty high accolades, Bob. Can the newcomer live up to it, and survive under the newfound fame?"I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis1
