Moldy cigar - smoke or store?

[Devil Doc]

I'd smoke them sooner rather than later and I wouldn't store them with my good cigars. Mold spores are everywhere, and they're real small. Did you really get it all? Why take the chance of introducing them to your humidor?

I'd most likely smoke them as well. I mean, we're talking a couple of $4 cigars......couldn't be that hard.

Well, I guess I'll smoke them. I told my wife of my dilemma and the replies(who woulda thunk she was listening?) and she suggested I go somewhere else and buy replacements for the stash and just smoke these.
Since it's her idea do I have to offer her one?

Thanks all,
Matt

My wife would prefer I not intentionally give her a moldy cigar. YMMV. Unless a "moldy cigar" is something on urban dictionary, in which case, she still would probably not prefer it.

Lmao! I just launched water across the office via my nose. Thanks Will.

Just my two cents here but.........my favorite B&M wouild replace those no questions asked. I've brought back a few cigars that were rolled so tight I couldn't draw and he replaced them. So there's no doubt in my mind if I got one (or more) from them that was moldy, they'd be replaced immediately too.

If the B&M where you bought them is a reputable business, they'll replace those without hesitation so I would say, take them back and exchange them. If they don't, obviously they don't want your business (or anybody elses) and I would never go there again. If they do replace them, I would immediately inspect the replacements before leaving the store.

Well, after agonizing over this, I went back to the shop and explained the situation about the mold. The guy swapped them out without so much as a blink. I got 3000s instead of 2000s from a different box.
He took the ones I brought back, though, and put them right back in the box I got them from, mold and all.
The shop is less than a mile from my house, which is nice, but I see I'll have to look closely at everything I buy.

Thanks again,
Matt
