One Of My Worst Cigar Fears Happened, Mold…

I’m glad to hear you caught it early on. Did you wipe off the 46’s and clip off the foot of the worst offenders for inspection? They appeared to all be salvageable.

Thanks Steve,
I took all the cedar sleeves off, and found there was no mold at all on the wrappers, of the Anejos. Just the bit on the foot seen in the images. I cut approximately 1/2” off of each one, and all I saw was tobacco. I’m setting up another small tupperdor for them, I just don’t feel comfortable putting them back in with the rest.

From now on, all cedar sleeves on any stick, will be removed immediately.

I still have the bottom level to go through, about 60-80 more cigars. I am hopeful none of them will have an issue either. Then it’s time to put everything back in.

Chris, it sounds like you are going to come through this in good shape. Because of what you found I am going to check my cedar sleeved cigars when I organize soon to make sure I'm not having the same problem.
