Did you, by chance, take any pictures of these cigars?

No, but I can, I usually don't take pics of every box of aged smokes I buy to post on the internet or especially here... I smoked 3 of them so far, and all of them have been very good.  Typical LGC profile.

Any reason why you want to see a pic of them ?  I can only assume that are thinking my plume is mold...trust me, it's not...if that's where you are trying to go.

I will gladly send you a pic... sometimes plume is difficult to catch in a camera photo, but I can find the right light and get a good shot for you, if you want one.  I have seen both and know the difference.  I have had vendors try to tell me mold was plume too...

Hi tick, I found this on Google. I took my own pictures of the plume for you, then realized I don't have any with mold *flexes muscles* and that it's a total bitch to post pics on OLH.

Hope that helps. Think of plume as like a light layer of sand that blew over your sticks. Mold will be like little tiny bunches of cotton - and don't smoke any if the mold is in the foot.

I have also noticed that plume will have a lot of crystalization in it, and in the proper light it actually looks like little specs of diamonds.

These sticks arrived coated with plume and were not opened for the last 13 years.[/quote]
