Coffins and mold?

That's not so bad at all. For sure it is mold, but I would not worry.

Glad someone confirmed called up the retailer and they tried to play it off as plume.

Said mold would not just wipe off and also usually grows on the band.

Sounds like they keep their cigars at a very high rh for cigars to mold inside a coffin. And going by their ignorant response, I would spend my money elsewhere next time.

y'know, a little mold doesn't bother me, because it DOES just wipe off. What bothers me is how many retailers try to claim it's something else when they know d@mn well it's mold!

As far as the original question, I'm only guessing, but it seems like maybe the coffins might not adjust to changes in humidity as fast as a "naked" cigar. so if the humidity got to be above the ideal range, the coffins could retain that excess moisture longer. Cedar wrapped cigars are more prone to mold as well. I'm guessing for the same reason.

also, I know some B&M's keep their humidors above 70% to compensate for people walking in and out all day.
