cnov Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Evening all, Was curious on people's procedure and process around storing cigars that they've wiped mould from? I received a couple of three packs of CoRo's and three cigars had a little mould around the caps, they were from cardboard rather than tubos. All wiped off easily enough and I've put them in their own separate tupperware away from the coolidor for the time being. Absolutely no presence on the foot. I'd like to eventually put them with the rest of the singles, but I wondered whether that was a good idea? What are people's experiences with this? Would you leave it a certain period of time? Not at all? Not the best picture, but you can see that it's wasn't a lot at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storage conditions are what matters - there’s mold spores everywhere. The goal is to not give them the conditions to grow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when wiping there must be a lot of transferred spores around the individual cigars themselves. Read through the whole of the mould thread in FOHrensics, really interesting stuff.

Enduin Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I would move them immediately, no need to quarantine them. Mold is on all cigars and what you see is really just a mold overgrowth due to excessive moisture/temp. If your storage is good on moisture/temp it won't come back. The mold thread in FOHrensics is indeed an eye opener! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve set some aside for a month when feeling paranoid, but it’s typical the warmth and humidity during travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
