We have LGC's on the shelf (at 68%)and they mold regardless. We've given up trying to keep them looking nice and moved them to an outside cabinet humidor (closer to 64%) where at least they don't mold...as much.

I don't know what it is about those cigars, but they're like sponges for moisture. I suggest keeping them nearer 60% if you can, because they'll absorb all the moisture they can and still be smokable, but you have less worry about mold.
