I forget the name of the lab that takes samples. Every stick they've tested over the years of supposed plume, even from properly stored decades old cigars, has been one form of mold or another. As @Glassman stated, there is crystallization that occurs but not in the way that is described, or conventionally understood, as plume.
Afraid to ask - plume? Or other

Yes sir I am going to. Have never smoked a Liga privada. Only the undercrowns and I love the sun grown. So looking forward to trying it. I love fuller bodied smokes.

Me too brother, me too... Still have yet to try the T52, I have one sitting in my humidor waiting for me. Love all their other offerings so I'm looking forward to it. Would really love to try the Velvet Rat as well, haven't had that one yet either. Can't bring myself to drop the money on a box right now though.
I am incorrect as I just remembered I tried a ratzilla not too long ago that supposedly had some age on it. It was alright. Had a tight draw and uneven burn.
That's another one I have yet to try that I was looking forward too. Have you had more than one? And if so, did the other(s) redeem themselves from your first experience? I've heard similar things about those (i.e., draw and burn issues).
No sir only the one. So I am more than willing to chalk it up to a bad roll. I will try another when I go back to that B&M. It may be a while as it is 2 states away however. My brother loves the Ligas though so I have no doubt I will as well.
Yea of the Liga's I have tried I really enjoyed them.

Did that plume give it a musty flavor?

Just stumbled across that pic the other day. Thought about posting in "show your latest purchase" ...
Breaks my heart someone let that happen to Da Ricky's..
Hahahahaha you doing a science experiment @Glassman?
Was thinking maybe you were going hardcore on the Dog Rocket pass. Gonna make sure no one messed with you EVER again.

Not me, but somebody was!
pretty good one too! I think he has like 5 unique varieties of mold growing there...

You gotta wonder, at what point did he go from being so proud of his plumey treasures, to the horrible realization that something was very, very wrong... 
I can pretty well picture the expression on his face..
My guess is that it was when the middle one split open and started turning green..

This is what they call a "toothy" cigar.....If you rub the white dots and they don't come off the wrapper leaf, it may be a “toothy” wrapper. This usually coincides with magnesium deposits as well...have had my fair share of these....tiny little white dots.

If it wipes off, enjoy the cigar. If not, enjoy the cigar.
