  • 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.

Plume or mold? The great debate!

Just remember, mold is usually hairy. Yep, I used the term hairy, because that's what it looks like, small hairs. Plume is caused by the crystallization of the oils on the cigars and develops after a good period of time at optimum storage conditions. Most of time, people have been posting pics of mold. As long as it's not on the foot, you can usually wipe it off and enjoy the cigar.

The pics of the cigars posted do not really show anything. Perhaps if you took close ups at different angles, we could better give our opinion.
