I don't want to speak for sofc, but I think that in the older threads, you'll find that some have experienced Fuente cigars with mold problems: those with ribbons (and cedar.) The mold (always?) starts under the ribbons. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the cello...or cedar, IMNSHO. Could be coincidental, but I've found mold under the ribbon on Anejos stored at 64%....and only one other cigar (house version of an EPC sold a few years ago.)
