So I jinxed myself. Bought a tubo Montecristo White and sure enough when I removed the cedar sleeve it had the white powder/ dust. I usually stay away from tubos bc I've heard they are more prone to it. I'm still leaning towards the mold side of the debate, but I did wipe it off and smoke it and it was fine (it was on the wrapper only, not the foot). I just think that if plume was scientifically proven cigar companies would be pushing that narrative like crazy in their advertisements. 'Look how well our cigars plume out with age' type of thing, but I haven't seen that. Either way I tend to think it is harmless if it isn't in the filler.
Beautiful day out today. I'm enjoying a cigar and a good book outside. Gotta make the most of the weather before winter kicks in. Smoking the H. Upmann 1844 reserve now.
