Camacho liberty

I would advise against storing these long-term in their own coffins. Could of just been that particular year, but massive mold formed on a few of my 2010s

Very sad discovery. Again though, for some reason this only happened to 2010s. . My 2011/2012/2013s were fine

This was a reoccurring issue with Liberty's starting in 2010 and going through 2014. Think they packed em too wet or something.

That is what I think. These three I never opened until this weekend. Convinced me to open all remaining coffins

Sorry to see that. When I get any cigars in coffins, tubes, or cedar sleeves, I immediately take them out before storing them in the humidor.

I usually do the same but for some reason I left these unopened

Even more bummed out since the non-moldy one I just had was fantastic. If you have any of these, consider lighting it up soon/now

Its the glue they used, it likes to attract mold

Didnt think of that - regardless, I am bummed out. Particularly how much these cost

Well going to take mine out right now

not quite as bad as yours but looks like a bit, it's about the same one the other side. Mines a 2013, is it still good to smoke?

Looks pretty minor. Mine were so bad the growth was on outside of the tissue paper too

Ended up taking everything out of the coffins, just in case

The glue used making the coffin or the glue for the cap?

My 2014 looks about the same. Are we all sure this is mold, and not plume?

I tried to smoke two different Liberties from 2013 that I had to toss due to mold. Ended up smoking a 2014 that was mold free.

I have 1 more from my 2010s . . had to toss 3 of them!
Lesson learned, but for the rest of you, I would advise not letting them sit in the coffins for any length of time

I'm not doubting what you're saying but it seems odd that Camacho would use a different glue on the Liberty line than they use on all the others. Is it rolled at a different factory or should all Camacho cigars be suspect?

didn't they rebrand in 2011/2012? maybe some production moved?
