I know I'm WAY behind on these YQMA's.. but I'm trying to catch up... but... On the topic of the "training" cigars... I'm pretty sure (based on my limited research) that the Perdomo La Tradicion Reserva line is identical with the exception of the wrappers... they have Camaroon (Silver), Maduro(Red, Natural (Green-golf), Sungrown conn.(White), and Shade Conn.(Gold-Champagne). I haven't had them all (yet), but I've had the Cam (my fav), the Champagne, and the Maduro... and there are subtle differences... but they all have very similar base flavors. I could be wrong...I'm still pretty new to this... Hey guys…

My columns include: Date Purchased, Date Smoked, Cigar, Size, Price, Personal Comments, Internet/External Comments/Findings, and Aging.

I really enjoyed it. Brian, yoe were really humerous, almost like Jerry. Keep up the good work. As for the palate sampler, they are usually given out by General cigar reps when they come to a local B&M. I got one a while back when there was a Macanudo promo at JR cigar. As for the fresh rolled issue, I was at an event at JR and one of their cigar reps was really nice and gave me a dozen free fresh rolled cigars with my purchase of a few boxes of what they were promoting that day. He also explained that I should smoke them within the next 2 days, after that they start a fermentaion process where amonia builds up in the cigar so you need to let it sit in the humidor for a copuple of months to let it age. I was also told something similar when I was at a Perdomo rolling event at CI. I got some fresh rolled cigars with my purchase and the sale guy told me to throw them in my humidor and forget about them for a month. I hope this info helps. Maybe this can count as a my answer your questions.....lol, just kidding. Nice YQMA sesion Brian and Walt. I really enjoyed it. Brian, yoe were really humerous, almost like Jerry.

My general rule of thumb is: - Appears Fuzzy = Mold - Looks like tiny crystals = Plume The latter of the two can take very long periods of time to develop. If you buy a cigar and place it in your humidor and see white stuff on it in a matter of a week or two then its most certainly mold. 'Plume is a crystallization of the oils in the cigar, which can take very long periods of time. Ed, Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the show and i look forward to having you on in a few weeks. BJ, Thanks for the info. I'd love to see a picture of that cigarillo. -Walt Tom & Jeremiah,

I have a few cigars with white fuzz on them and I was concerned but did not remove it. I did however isolate these particular cigars in seperate humidor. I guess this is ploom? Great idea!
