Are La Gloria Cubana extra susceptible to mold?

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.

We have all the LGC's here and honestly, have never had any mold.
