Plume question????

[Donk]

I made an observation this evening, I looked at a couple of my cigars that I have stored away for aging. I noticed that some of the cigars were developing plume, but then some of them were not.

I have a 2001 Cohiba EL and a 2000 Monti that Have no plume, even though they have been tucked away aging.

I have a Comacho that I received a year ago that is already developing plume nicely.

So my Question is Do all cigars develop Plume? Or is it more dependent on Wrapper type?

I have a couple of Opus that have been aging for some since 2005 that have no apperant plume.

So what is the deal?

It's just one of them things where some cigars get it and some might not. No clue why :dunno:

i've noticed the same thing...some get it and some dont.

in my case, it seems the darker wrappers; oscuros, habanos, sungrowns and the like develop more readliy. I don't have a single one witha lithgt wrapper, like a connecticut or even an ecuadorian that is developing. Not to say that it hasn't happend, i had several Dunhill nicauraguans that looked liked a connecticut wrapper, that were absolutely covered, but they were at least 10 years old.

but those are merely my observations from my own colleciotn. i have no scientific evidence to back that up.

As others have said, some just get it and some don't. I think a lot of it has to do with how oily the wrapper is. VSG's, for example, are notorious for getting plume fairly quick.

I think it has a lot to do also with how much a cigar has been handled, if it was a single and handled a fair amount before it was set back to age, it will be less likely to plume than a cigar never taken from it's box.

I give plume zero thoughts. One of those things that just happens IMO. When I see something on a stick I am just careful is not mold and address that immediately if is mold.

Bingo.

I'd let a professional shave my face with a straight razor, no freakin' way I'm gonna try it myself though.

I read a thread on CF, most of the guy there said the same thing. they could care less about the plume, I was just kinda curious to weather it was more of a type of cigar like previously stated a maduro verus a natural wrapper. Or a regional type thing like Dominicians will but Cubans won't.

Generally maduros will develop plume quicker than natural due to their fermintation, over time all that have oil in the wrapper will develop plume. Much easier to notice on a maduro. Cubans will certainly develop plume over time or so I've been told by a guy in the know on such matters.
