Plume, which is also called bloom, is a naturally occurring phenomenon in the cigar aging process. Oils that exude from the tobacco in a finished cigar will appear as a fine white powder and can be brushed off without leaving a mark. Plume is not to be confused with mold, which has color to it and stains the wrapper.

I'm so glad you said it and not me, LOL.
FYI that is not "piss", it is always mold. Even if your piss is crystalline, something is fungal about it.Jumped in this thread to offer a suggestion and a mold/bloom/plume pissing match broke out…
Thanks for the tip. Looking to take the lakeland plunge. Have some Ennerdale just trying to decide which pipe
Ennerdale is an especially fruity/sweet Lakeland, pretty far removed from how I'd describe Coniston. I like it as well, but don't base your opinion of all Lakelands on it. Enjoy!Thanks for the tip. Looking to take the lakeland plunge. Have some Ennerdale just trying to decide which pipe

I understand, I take this as a lesson to keep improving my language when communicating. I have a tough time sometimes communicating my exact thoughts on a forum. I do much better face to face.
