For once, knowledge is making me poor!
I was recently in a very high end B&M and witnessed something which got me to thinking.
There was a box of LFD Mysterios with two sticks remaining. These two sticks were covered with either plume or mold. Being a newb, I can't tell without the benefit of a magnifying glass or strong reading glasses and had neither with me........I suspected mold so I didn't buy them.
The inside of the box lid had a good deal of the plume/mold on it as well. Also, the sticks were covered with splotches (not crystals) from head to foot but only the exposed part of the cigar, which was not in the cradle, the part of the stick in the cradle was clean. The proprietor immediately started pushing these "plume covered sticks" on me.
Two questions:
1. Will plume transfer from the cigar to the box?
2. Is there any liability on the part of the B&M proprietor if they push a mold infested stick on you and you become ill from smoking it?
