One of my favorites. I'm liking your collection, lee. Those are a steal and good at first and fantastic if you let them set for a little while.Lee.mcglynn said:Ok not great pics but the best I can do at the moment. These are padron londres from July of 2013LLA - Lancero Lovers of America3 -
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.Team O'Donnell FTW!

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 mediaA little dirt never hurt5 -
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 soonMoney can't buy taste1

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.LLA - Lancero Lovers of America2 -
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!Money can't buy taste2

Mid you don't want to smoke it, I'm sure there are several members here that would dispose of it for you.

Definitely mold. Thats why i dont keep cigars in Cedar sleeves or tubes"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

That be mold and being a Tubo from a vendor it is common at times with CC's. Always inspect them.

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.
Very disappointed.0 -
I have had a shop in the past tell me white and purple is always plume and it should start in the foot...."Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

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. Post edited by quicktwinturbo on0

The same shop in question refused to refund, but the did allow me to trade it for a "plume free' stick."Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

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.quicktwinturbo said:Bummer.

Necro bump.
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.
Follow the project here:

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.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )0
