Perhaps one man's mold is anothers' bloom.  |
Mold comes in various colors. White is fairly common actually. Mold forms unevenly and tends to be splotchy, exactly like the cigars you took a photo of.
You could be dealing with old mold, basically happened some time ago, then the humidity issue was corrected, and the colony stopped growing and dried up. Think of a standing dead tree.
Perhaps ignorance is bliss to the misinformed and inexperienced.
