Plume

What is Plume on a Cigar?

Plume, also known as "bloom," is a harmless crystalline residue that forms on the surface of cigars as oils and sugars migrate through the wrapper. It’s a sign of well-aged cigars.

How to Identify Plume?

Plume appears as a fine white powder or sheen on the cigar. Unlike mold, it is dry, evenly distributed, and can be easily brushed off without damaging the cigar.

Why is Plume a Good Sign?

Plume indicates that a cigar has been properly aged and stored. It enhances the flavor and aroma, making the smoking experience richer and more enjoyable.
