Well, I was going to do my best at taking some cigar porn and thank goodness I did. When I took a few singles out to photo, this is what I found. Not at all happy about this!! What's with all the mold lately? I'll let you all know what the vender has to say.

This may be time to start discussion on RH and Temp. levels that we are all using!

I am trying to focus on keeping the temp below 70 and the RH at 65%. I have been thinking about going down another 2-3%. Could this be an issue behind the mold that people are having?

I checked my Sharks and they are fine.

Well, I've only had these Rass in my igloodor for about 1 1/2 weeks at 65/65. If I were you I'd keep a REAL close eye on those sharks.:tazerblas

This is an odd time of year to hear about mold too...

I figured out the issues with mine, but still there has been a bunch of this going around

So, how often is mold an issue? I gather that this time of year it is no usually a problem, and I am guessing because winter is not noted for being warm and humid?

If you do get a mold problem, is it likely to spread through your humidor after you get rid of the problem sticks? Do you need to disinfect your humidor or something?
