I use isopropyl alcohol, which can be bought at any grocery or drug store for about $2. Before people start recommending high proof liquor . . . don't. Liquor has other ingredients, including sugars, that can cause harm later on.

A gentle wipe down of the cigars, and a thorough wipe down of the humidor, should fix the problem. The tubes are a loss, toss them right away. Keep this humidor at 65% humidity going forward to inhibit future mold growth. You should be fine.

The actual tubes or cigars in them?? I think the cigars minus the one or two are good. I took them all out of the tubes. I am going to take cedar wrapped cigars out of the cedar.

Thanks everyone for the info. Ill be cleaning up what I can and tossing what I can't.
