Is This Mould?

Yeah, I think it has something to do with the processing/fermenting that is done in the factory. Nothing to worry about.

Hey Corona Lover,

I had that same colouring on a few Cohiba Siglo VI's. Its not mold so nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the confirmation guys. I thought it was nothing... but better safe than sorry!
I've got my tiny 25 count newbie humidor full of things I want to sample. I love it that some of the more popular ISOMs are available in packs of 3 or 5. It makes it easy to order from dealers that don't do single sticks.

Cheers,
Corona Lover

Nope, not mold.

That looks like some poor cigar-rolling smuck picked up something nasty in the factory and then touched your cigar with it. YUMMY! Extra Flavor stripes! Maybe he dropped it and then stepped on it with his shoe?

I have noticed spots like that on some of my Cuban cigars before as well. I have no idea what they are, but they never get bigger and grow or anyhting like that.
