mrmessy Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 A few months back, I noticed some mold on the door of some of my cigars. I took them, dusted (rubbed) off the mold on the foot. Put them in a zip lock with a 65 Boveda. Checked it today and there was a little mold growth coming back. Now, I've seen some split opinions about this. Some say check them. Some say dust it off or cut the foot and smoke. But I've never seen pictures or anyone that checked. Maybe I didn't look that hard. So, I decided to cut into it and see if I could see how bad it was. Really couldn't see anything beyond the surface of the foot. Maybe I was missing it, but it really didn't seem that bad. Possibly, if you catch it soon enough then it's not pervasive throughout? Either way, after cutting a good two inches off, I decided to smoke it anyway. Attached some pics. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmessy Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 BTW, told my wife and she said, "Your cigars smell like feet to me anyway. Maybe all of your cigars have mold?" Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers ? surely that suggests they may have a fault? the wine, not to the toes, or possibly both. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmessy Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 And now we've taken it too far! Added the pic with the mold defined. This was one of 5 sticks with mold. So, I kept one in a separate bag to see how it continues to grow.The rest, I clipped the foot and will observe to see how they develop.

I've seen a light dusting on wrappers, and maybe a spec of white near the foot that brushed off, but I haven't seen green mold on a cigar before. I thought that chemically...or biochemically, as it were, that was considered exceptionally rare. Are you able to take a picture with the foot of the cigar better in focus instead of your thumb? I'm just not seeing it from the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmessy Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 yeah, sorry. Not the best pic. I'll post one from the other cigar if I can get a better shot from my phone. Maybe after I let it grow more prevalently. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
