dominattorney Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I can't help but venture a crude verbal comparison with this thread. Achieving plume to me is a little like achieving an erection. Not sure how it's an accomplishment, but then again, I'm still young. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monterey Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 It is either plume, or it is nothing. I took one of those cigars out into the bright light to see if I could see it in greater detail. Once I took a single out, I could seem almost nothing. It is only visible in the group. Definitely not mold, but I'm now leaning more to it being nothing at all but a nice beautiful shine from aging wonderfully. And I'm okay with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterbeav Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Never sure anymore. I did my quarterly check on my cigars today and found that my 6 year old Montecristo #2 had a nice light haze over them. A light crystallization/haze covers the cigars almost completely. The feet are clean (no mold in the cigar) On the pro plume side is that it was really hard to take a picture showing what I see in person. Camera's aren't great for picking up a slight haze. On the no plume side, the cigars are only 6 years old and plume is a myth. Thoughts? Wish I had better pictures. The cigars are GORGEOUS in person. I'm new to Cuban Cigars and need to ask lots of questions....some may be silly but I need to gain knowledge....so here goes.......Are we trying to get this effect.....what does this mean to the taste or quality of the cigars....thanks JimSent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for tasting 2 exact cigars, one with plume and one without, I don't know. I don't know if I every smoked a cigar with plume. One person's plume is another person mold. If you are new to cuban's, I would ignore this subject all together and wonder about it 20 years down the road once you have psychoanalyzed every other thing about cigars. It is a stupid waste of time and you don't need plume on your cigars to taste good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaclub Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Did you end up sending one in to Rob? I assume they found mould from what all their samples are turning out to be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monterey Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 He didn't seem interested. So I disposed of them one by one. They are all gone now. Though I have 2 more boxes of those. Same month and year. Maybe they will be on them. For the record, them tasted amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
