Heck, even fuentes are known for getting mold under the ceder sleeves-stored properly.

Sometimes they are just packed to wet and then the tube is sealed. I don't know many shop owners that open each individual tube...unless it is a small shop with a very slow turn around. I told one of my B&M owners locally about mold on some montecristo tubos. He apologized and then checked EVERY one...about 400 or so. Scored me some freebies too.

You would be surprised how mold trends with certain cigars. It is scary.
The only tubos I have ever had show signs of mold were Montes.......I carry cigars on the road with me frequently, and tubes are pretty convenient for that so I usually buy and store several different ones.
