    Exclamation Bloom or Mold?

    I just received a box of Montecristo No 2 and it has white spots on all the cigars. I wanted to see if this was bloom or mold? Thanks for any help! See below pictures:

    Take a magnifying glass, and if it looks like little stalks, it's mold. I've always been told that plume looks like tiny sparkles where the oil has crystalized on the leaf.

    Sorry to tell you, but that definitely looks like mold.
