  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

New box of L40's Covered in Plume!

Just to be clear, sparkling, crystalline, white, dusting... I just opened the box and boom, plumage out the wazoo and they smell INCREDIBLE. Anyone else heard of this on new shipments of LP? Strange to see on such young cigars, and some of the most uniform that I have seen.

Edit: Looks like a combination of bright lights, sawdust from the box, a forty and a tall can, and the sparkling minerals in the wrapper formed a perfect storm of not-plume and not-mold :eek:) I enjoyed the discussion!

It's not plume, the Saka ferry flies over the DE factory at night and sprinkles ferry dust on the Ligas. You should see his cute little wings. *Grin*

I had some Nicaraguan "ferry dust" back in college, maybe that's why these are so addicting.

I would be hard pressed to think it's plume at this young age, however, the uniformity of it seems to favor it versus mold.
Does it come off?

Honestly doubt it's plume. Could just be the wrapper, believe they use a CBL on Liga? Some CBL is gritty off the bat. Would be surprised if it was plume, either way beautiful looking cigars.
