I think my cigar have molds. Is there a way to get rid of it and prevent it from coming back?

Start off by drying out your cigars a bit.

If in fact it is mold,it's hard to tell without pictures.

One way to prevent mold is to not let your humidor get above 70% humidity.

Can you post a close up picture of the suspected mold?

Mold on the wrapper can be brushed off by hand or paper towel. Some also use a fine bristle brush. But dont brush them off near your humidor or you will just spread the spores to your other cigars. Unless the mold has intruded into the foot your cigars will be fine.

I agee with Bobarian completely. Brush them off, and dry things up.

Also, are you sure it's mold?
Are they new or old sticks? Is it fuzzy of shiny?
