Sorry for the picture - camera phone. It's white and wiped off easily, no stains left behind.
From what I've read it's plume ... just need confimation from my bro's.

[funkejj]

Can't tell from the pictures however plume is crystalline in appearance and doesn't wipe off easily. Mold is fuzzy in appearance and wipes off rather easily. The mold I've seen in person has a white/grey or white/blue-green color rather than all white.

never seen plum with such distinct patches like that....but maybe it can form that way don't know

MOLD! No Question, Plume is due to the oils in the wrapper and usually covers the entire cigar. Mold tends to colonize in patches. If you magnify the patches you will be able to identify individual spores.

Wow you trying to create the new and improved penicillin? Yuck! How are you storing your cigars? Even with the fuzzy pics, that is a helluva lot of mold, you should check your humidity.

Its mold. Sorry bro, plume will be even over hole cigar, mold is fuzzy and spotty. You can always try the blacklight test if you are unsure about mold or plume. Mold won't reflect plume will.

From what I know I have to agree with everyone else... looks like mold.

Plume is easily identified by looking at the cigar under a light... if it sparkles, it's plume

Storing at 70 rh and 70 deg. These are the only ones too. They are Kristoffs without cello. All the other stiks are ok. Are these throw aways?

Still learning the art of cigar storage

 

[terrantheman]

I would keep them out of the general population of the other cigars and you might as well just smoke them now.

If the mold is not in the foot they are ok just wipe them off.
