mold or bloom

[Mizicke5273]

If you look closely at mold, it looks like little fuzzy stalks, like it is growing out of the cigar, which indeed it is. When you try and brush it off, mold will also tend to stick a little and leave a discolored patch.

Bloom is a powder and can generally be brushed off easily.

Basically, if its fuzzy, its mold.

I say its mold, especially looking at the 5th from the left.

spiffy

Also dosent mold grows in spots where as bloom is over the entire surface of the cigar?
