    Default My cigars are full of flakes - look at photos and please help!

    Hello!
    I have quite a serious problem. My cigars are full of flakes - white and hard. I don't know, what it can be, but I am afraid that it's mold. What do you think? Look at the pictures and write.
    Flakes are also on the labels - black and yellow. What it can be? I am desperate. I have a full humidor of new cigars!

    I've never seen anything like that!

    Do they scrape off easily?

    Yes, scrape is OK, I think.

    I have got just three types of cigars in humidor:
    Ramon Allones Specially Selected 22 pieces
    Partagas Lusitanias 3 pieces
    Saint Luis Rey Regios 23 pieces
    White flakes are only at Ramon Allones cigars, the black and white on labels are also at Saint Luis Rey.
    What it can be?:(

    Probably one of these from before harvesting.
    Leaf Spot or Weather Fleck. Neither affects the taste, only appearance.

    But, the flakes were not there about two weeks ago...
    I have got it home for about one month.

    That is really interesting. I wish I could help but I got no suggestions. Good luck finding out what they are and a cure for them.

    Never seen that either, but the bands reminds me of something.

    What kind of humidifying device(s) are you using, and are you using distilled water in it/them?
