Damnit, I'm Thinking It's Mold

[Volusianator]

As Moro would say, "what say ye"?

The San Cristobal are on the top shelf of my humidor, usually between 66-69% and the Oliva are on the very bottom of the humidor which is usually around 65-68%.

Wow that sucks. You figure out what went wrong?

 

[Moro]

As Moro would say: I believe ye've got mold...especially the Oliva. Are they San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe?

 

[njstone]

huh, weird. Not enough airflow?

They don't seem too far gone...maybe you can just wipe them off? I'd clean out he boxes they were in, though, that crap spreads fast.

 

[oneaday]

Segregate, wipe it off and fire em up.

You sure looks like bloom. I usually grab any cigar that looks like that. If it doesn't smell like mold smoke it, it may be great.

I don't know about the Oliva but the La Punta is a great stick! just dust off the peach fuzz and light 'em up I'm sure they won't disappoint.

No man that's not plume, plume tends to be more crystal in nature and there's a fairly even coat all along the stick. Mould on the other hand tend to be in patches as is the case in the pictures.

That sux bro, but....

....that is pretty damn funny

Its easy to tell, grab a magnifying glass, if it is fuzzy its mold, crystalline its plume.

Olivia is def mold, SC looks like mold also.

 

[dpricenator]

Bummer...that's a mold of some kind. Dust it off and smoke em.

On the bright side of things, smoking fungus might have side affects that you normally have to pay alot to get.:stretchgr

Not Plume, sorry bro, you caught it early though, as long as it isn't up into the foot it's likely an easy fix. is your humi temperature controled? Also for long term storage I'd recomend closer to 60% humidity, will avoid these problems.

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

Bummer!

 

[Soundwave13]

Yeah - what Mitch said...

Good you caught it early! Should be an easy fix...

The cabinet is not temp controlled although it's in the basement and never gets over 67 degrees or so in the humidor. I got everything wiped off and it should be fine. I'll keep a close eye on things for a few weeks to see what happens.

Send em' my way and I'll take them over to the lab for testing. :glassesgr
