			Plume happens when the oils of the cigar crystallize on the wrapper and it is a good indication that the cigars have been kept in proper conditions.  However, some cigars plume fairly easily after a few years and others never will.  It does not affect taste. 
 The only cigars I have that have any indication of plume are some special release Pepin Blue Label lanceros from '07.  I have other lanceros in the same box that have no indication of plume.
