If you have ever been unfortunate to see mold, I haven't in my humidors but my cousin did once, they kill the cigar and usually you see other signs like greenish color and slightly swelled cigars from over moisture.

More and more authority figures are saying plume doesn’t exist at all

I’m not aware of any cigar that was alleged to have “plume” that was seen under microscope and it wasn’t actually mold.
