I've read some seriously fucked up descriptions of "plume" from retailers.
Yeah. I think under a magnifying glass, you'll see the little stalks, and tops of mold. Plume doesn't look like that.

I saw some MAJOR mold on cigars in a shop down St Armands Circle, FL. It was unquestionable.

Either way, unless it was really bad, I'd just dust that shit off, and smoke it anyway.

Quarantine of course if you're not going to smoke it right away.
