>>2146693>>2146718I believe that plume/bloom on cigars is mold and a very smart marketing trick. Mold of the rather harmless variety, but mold nevertheless. I have no issue with smoking them, though.
Anyway, I noticed that the pieces with mold on them were the thicker ones that contained more moisture. As I rubbed on them, the mold disappeared. Similar to how you can rub bloom away from a cigar. In conclusion, I put all of in a jar as it smells and smokes well. Pic related, how it looked like through my pocket microscope before I rubbed it off. Thanks for reading my blog.
