Hello from AZ + quick mold question

[jas262]

Hello,

Name is Josh. I have been smoking since around 2001 but have not been very active on the forums for the last 6 or 7 years. Was a member of CigarUtopia and Cigarweekly back then ... CW activity sure has declined and CigarUtopia isn't even around anymore.

This year I have definitely started smoking & purchasing more and found this forum more useful and active than most.

I did have a quick question regarding mold. Purchased some Monte #4s in a 5x5 (not from anyone/anything related to this site) and about one or two sticks in each cardboard box had a small speck of mold on them. Wiped them down and stuck them in my desktop. The amount was really small but each box had 1-2 cigars with a little speck. I have since figured out after reading a couple threads on here that it seems cigars in the cardboard are much more prevelant to mold. Anything I should be concerned about beside checking in on them? I am guessing I should just take them out of the cardboard all together. Do I need to be fearfull of them spreading the mold? My humi sticks around 65% with a temp around 72-75 (I am in AZ).

Thanks

Josh

Cheers and welcome.

And no, nothing to worry about there. Very small specks, white mold, clean them off and enjoy them in due time.

Welcome from Central Phoenix...I have had worse and my usual response is to smoke those first and fast Then again I smoke quite a bit so I don't need prompting to fire up something.

Maybe we need another Az gathering as it seems we have a few folks around here.
