Bloom or mold

[isimpson]

Ok found out where the guys got the cigar and took it back to the store, the lady behind the counter said o no thats caused by oils!
O noooo I said thats mold, she didn't really argue when I said mold is fuzzy and oils cause plume which is crystalline, she just swapped it for me :)

Now I have a nice aged Macanudo to look forward to with no bleamishes

Only one question now though, do I leave it in the glass tube which is sealed or take it out and put it in my humidor to get some fresh air??

Cheers for the help guys,
Iain

I leave mine sealed. Personal preference.

Personal preference - PM'd another BOTL here on it. Cellphone and glass tubes (assuming you have a cork at the top) can "breathe" so they'll still be getting some air. Couple considerations - do you want the various sticks to "marry" and do you have the room. I personally don't like cellophane but I like tubes (but that is aesthetic) - only now getting rid of some tubes b/c I need to make room in my humi.
