White mold generally wipes right off whith no adverse effects, as long as it isn't in the foot.

This. Don't be afraid of mold. I have some '98-'99 Añejos that had some mold on them when I bought them; if I had passed on them at the time out of timidity I would have missed out on some truly amazing smokes and yet more to come!

I've smoked a lot of lightly molded cigars after wiping them clean. You can kill the mold in the fridge and if the cigars don't get too warm it wont come back, at least in our climate.
