Methinks this is mold...

[spivey6690]

...but what do you think?

Methinks you are correct and should wipe said fluff before smoking.

[LordAnubis]

Nah man it's plume!

Hehehe. Yep mould. Wipe and smoke. Out of curiosity, please report back how it smoked?

Put on a set of retailer glasses and you will see plume. 

It is white mold. I wipe it off before smoking. 

White mold is common particularly in tubes but really...I see it every week multiple times.

I like that the last pic was of you smoking it!

Always safetest to assume mold and occasionally be pleasantly surprised that it is plume!

[spivey6690]

I smoked the piss out of that mold.

Plume! Forest floor/mushroom anyone?

The very notes that draw me to Punch Punch!

 

Def. mold, but I wouldn't worry.  As long as it doesn't smell like feet, you're good to go.

I hope you at least checked the foot of the cigar for mold.

x3 on plume!

$100.00 cigar for sure.

Congrats on the college thing. Hopefully not taking Protest Group Dynamics 101 or Safe Zones Establishment and Administration...! -LOL

I have a few friends down there in College Station and Navasota. However, the whole regoin left a bad taste in my mouth when they crushed my piggies a few weeks ago. Now we get a crack a Bama tonight. What cigar pairs well with disappointment and soft tears?

Do you see lots of moldy cigars when it comes to Montes, especially #4's?

Seems like many boxes I buy have a bit of white mold on the sticks.

Only happens with this particular stick though.

[Dozerhead]

Definitely plume. Sell the cigars for 4x their original cost and call it a day!

I don't think it one cigar stands out more than another. 

Monte 1/2/3/4/5/ ....I couldn't separate them on the basis of occurrence of mold. 

You can have a mastercase or series of mastercases where it is predominant. The Upmann Connie 1 OCT NOV 11 and FEB 12 come to mind. Not sure what happened there but that is how they arrived. Cracking cigars nonetheless as you guys can attest.
