Penzance Question

[zanthal]

I think the crickets are proving me right.
I have two tins of Penzance on their way to my Christmas stocking as we speak.

Assaad . . . I think the word is blume not plume. [:?:]

Either plume or bloom.

Plume and bloom are interchangeable. Some reps like to call mold bloom, and convince the shop keeper to not send back the cigars or tobacco. I mentioned this in another thread, but if you look under a glass, mold will look like mushrooms. True Plume or Bloom looks like sugar crystals, and is scattered rather than patchy.

I don't know if you would see colored molds on cigars. Any I have seen, in shops, is typically white. Any colored molds I've seen were on the plants. Can't speak for pipe tobacco having colored mold as I have never seen any mold on it, and have only really smoked pipes seriously for a few years. I've smoked cigars well over 30 years.

zanthal,

any of our site sponsors are great to deal with. Since Esoterica blends (Penzance in particular) are becoming more available, you should see them on websites for longer, more often.
