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 time 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.
A Little Help Here...Mold or Plume

Interesting.
I have seen plume, and this seems to be too fine and too evenly distributed...

check the dust on them first. If it is even slightly "sandy" or "grainy" or powdery, the ditch the idea. Even experienced tobacconists get it wrong, much less a shop like this. The "plume" looks too white, too even, NOT like mold. Best of luck, but you are probably getting 2 cigars covered in something that is not plume. Of course I hope I am wrong.
:nono: Kinda odd looking pics to me. I do not see the good in buying these cigars, pass.

Essentially brushing away some of those lovely oils.
It's def. not mold, that much I am sure. It's too fine of a coat to be mold and mold grows in patches, not evenly all over the cigar. If every other cigar in the humi looks the same, then it's from using non-distilled water in the humidifier. It is hard to tell because of the pictures, but it looks like you might have yourself some fine aged sticks there!
Just thought of something....look at the shelves and other boxes to see if you can see or feel the powder on them as well. If it's mineral deposits from not using distilled water it'll be all over everything in there. If they're clean, I'd say you scored!

Well gents, I went by that shop and u[on inspection and then asking the man behind the counter how he services his humidifying device only to have him not just say but, show me (tap water...) I opted not to buy.
I told him that he should be using Distilled Water and he thanked me and said he'd pass that on to the owner.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for saving me.
