I saw some MAJOR mold on cigars in a shop down St Armands Circle, FL. It was unquestionable.

Either way, unless it was really bad, I'd just dust that shit off, and smoke it anyway.

Quarantine of course if you're not going to smoke it right away.

Thanks for the input guys.....as I say I was concerned it was mold at the time.

Just to clarify, it wasn't big spots, it was more like a lot of little tiny white crystalline looking dots.

Now, I admit I don't have the most sensitive nose but when I sniffed them (after talking to the owner of the B&M on the phone) I couldn't smell mold and I do know what that smells like.

I also wiped my finger on the cigar and tasted it. It didn't taste moldy either (the taste I did get was kind of oily, and a touch bitter) so I just wiped them off and smoked them. I live to far from the city to just run back and return them.........LOL

Ever since then, when I buy a box pack like that, I open them there before I pay.

I like to think it was plume because I didn't smell or taste mold....but I'll tell you this much, if I ever run into it again, I'm going to dig out a magnifying glass for a closer look. I can tell the difference between a crystalline structure and mold.
