I can honestly say that I've gotten cigars with mold from almost every vendor I have used. Law of averages I guess. Since January 1st I've had 19 boxes delivered. None with mold, but if they did have it I would just go through the extra hassle of removing the mold. Summer months is almost a guarantee of mold. They may not have left the warehouse with it, but humidity and heat in transit doesn't take too long for it to spore. I try to slow my purchases during the summer months due to the heat here.

I've gotten 6 boxes of tubos from the vendor this thread is about in the last month with one more on the way. All 2013-2014 codes. Opened every one of the tubes and no mold on any cigars.

Yes, I agree, Unless, you're ordering from the southern hemisphere.
That's below the equator, Chuck. :rolleyes:
Personally, the only time I've had issues of this sort has been with tubos. Especially ones from RyJ.)?) :depressed:

Astonishing news...........That "Vendor" actually wipes mold off their tubos!!
Wonder why they don't check EVERYTHING ELSE??

Um, wait. So you intentionally order from a vendor who is well know to store cigars in a poor manner and often times doesn't care that their customers end up with crap?
Hopefully that's not actually the case, but if so, why would you do that?

Ok I did laugh out loud. I, like many of you, stopped using this vendor for a long stretch of time several years ago. In the last couple of years I started again and have had excellent luck. The shipping times are a third of most of the other popular vendors and I have a lifetime supply of bubble wrap because the go way overboard on the packing. I have zero complaints over the last couple of years, but I did swear I wouldn't order from them again years back. A few friends told me they fixed the massive quality control issues. So far so good.

Cannot blame the man for ordering '13s and '14s.
I would have probably ordered that many if I could find them.
19 boxes is 1.3 cigars /day for a year.
