...I would not describe plume as "...a layer of fuzz". A layer of fuzz better describes mold.
From Cigarafficinado.com:
...that's the plume I know.Plume:
Plume, which is also called bloom, is a naturally occurring phenomenon in the cigar aging process. Oils that exude from the tobacco in a finished cigar will appear as a fine white powder and can be brushed off without leaving a mark. Plume is not to be confused with mold, which has color to it and stains the wrapper.
And dark wrappers are far more suceptible to mold than lighter wrappers.
I know people desparately want to answer questions, but it is best for this community that any answer posted is accurate. I hate straight cut and paste jobs....
