For a real nice easy to smoke medium bodied cigar, try the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Duque.
Also the Romeo and Julieta 1875 Reserva Real Torpeedo.

No smoking outside this morning as it was freezing out, 41° but felt like 36°.
Hopefully tomorrow morning will be warmer.

CigarPage has one of their $19.99 5 pack deals going on. This one is for large ring cigars. Selection isn't bad... Includes some Aging Room, CAO, Caldwell, RP, RyJ, Montecristo, Southern Draw, etc. I've seen better selections on their deals before, but wanted to pass it along for anyone who isn't familiar with the site. They get 5 pack deals like this about once a month or so. Hard to beat with free shipping. If you sign up for emails you'll get notified of all their deals.

That Camacho Triple Maduro 660 is a steal at that price. Highly recommend that cigar if you haven't tried it. Super dark and toothy.

Anyone use the PerfecDraw? It is a freaking game changer. You can find it on sale for ~ $30 and it pays for itself in no time if you get a cigar with a tight draw.

I’m not aware of any cigar that was alleged to have “plume” that was seen under microscope and it wasn’t actually mold.

I had plume on one of my Liga Privada's early this year and the second time on a My Father Le Bijou 1922.
The next time it occurs, I will take some photos.

So I jinxed myself. Bought a tubo Montecristo White and sure enough when I removed the cedar sleeve it had the white powder/ dust. I usually stay away from tubos bc I've heard they are more prone to it. I'm still leaning towards the mold side of the debate, but I did wipe it off and smoke it and it was fine (it was on the wrapper only, not the foot). I just think that if plume was scientifically proven cigar companies would be pushing that narrative like crazy in their advertisements. 'Look how well our cigars plume out with age' type of thing, but I haven't seen that. Either way I tend to think it is harmless if it isn't in the filler.
Beautiful day out today. I'm enjoying a cigar and a good book outside. Gotta make the most of the weather before winter kicks in. Smoking the H. Upmann 1844 reserve now. |

I think they are afraid too many casual smokers will mistake mold for plume.
Also I find it occurs a little dryer cigar where the moisture on the wrapper dries. Ambassador Cigars in Paradise Valley is a high end cigar shop and lounge with multiple cigars displaying bloom at different times. They have over $1.5 million in inventory in the giant walk in humidor and they wouldn't let them stay if it was mold.
