Blend - A mixture of different types of cigar leaf tobacco, including up to four types of filler leaves, a binder and an outer wrapper. Bloom - A fine white powder that forms on the wrapper of the cigar caused by the oils that exude from the tobacco. It can be gently brushed off with a small camel hair brush, though there is no need to do this. Bloom indicates the cigar is alive, maturing as it should inside a well maintained humidor. Bloom should not be confused with mold.
Mold is a bluish-green and stains the wrapper.
Mold usually indicates a humidor is too warm or has excessive levels of humidity. Blue mold - Blue mold is a damaging fungus that forms on the tobacco leaf and can ruin the crop. Blue mold is a big problem when there's a lot of dampness or rain. Bundle - A method of packaging cigars using cellophane as opposed to a box. A bundle usually contains from 25 to 50 cigars and are less expensive than boxed cigars.
