Mold possibly?
 

Good afternoon!

I'm in the process of restabilizing and organizing all of my boxes (large and small). I was in the wineador and noticed 5 sticks with a khaki colored mold on them. None of the other naked sticks have it anywhere. So I emptied the drawer and cleaned it with distilled water (paper towels on left).

Mold? Beetlejuice?

As stated, careful inspection of all surfaces and crannies show no evidence it has spread. It appears that when the wineador actually worked, condensation dripped on the back of this drawer (fluid stain on a small portion)

As an aside, my collection has largely been neglected for a few years (hence my absence), and I'm 1 month in with rehydration...slow and steady. So far all boxes are at ~67% and steady.

I Would Be Afraid To Smoke Those. Could Definitely Be Mold.

Re: Mold possibly?
 

My thoughts too.

Re: Mold possibly?
 

Oh, I wasn't even thinking that they were smokeable. I chucked them in a plastic bag and then the trashcan.

I had yet to experience mold in this form, so I was curious about it. Thank you for the replies. :)

Almost looks more like rot than mold?

For the record, googling Cigar Rot brings unexpected results. :noon

Re: Mold possibly?
 

I would say a combination of water damage and mold!

Re: Mold possibly?
 

This.

I’ve had this happen to cigars where the humidifying element leaked and this went unnoticed for a few years. Looked just like the photos.

Re: Mold possibly?
 

Yes, agree with your assumption, especially if you see other evidence of condensation.

Thankfully you only lost a couple of sticks.

Re: Mold possibly?
 

We missed out on an opportunity to send those sticks to good old Bacon Bill. :r

Re: Mold possibly?
 

I have some for him. -(P

It's PLUME!

Yuck. I think you may have won the award for creepy cigars. However, you lost out on the Dare Bonus Round for not smoking the creepy cigars.

The barber pole Fauxhibas that Klugs kept under the outside stairs at Shack might give 'em a run for their money. ;) :r

Re: Mold possibly?
 

They didn't make it to the trash, so I added a chunk of cheese to infuse the mold with a new kind. :noon

Hahahaha awesome. A project to see if they can get crazier looking. I like the idea. Reminds me of when a co-worker put a slice of pizza in a container to see what would happen. There were three molds that started but the black mold won.

Re: Mold possibly?
 

Hazmat pizza! Probably no market for it though.


One summer I missed a bag of groceries in the trunk of my car. In it was a package of raw fish...Did I mention that it was summertime? I never dry heaved harder than I did when I later investigated what the heck that smell was and I opened the trunk

:O. How Did You Get That Smell Out, Ron???
