Wipe them off, you will be fine.
This is an odd time of year because it is usually quite dry in the winter. And this winter is really, really dry, at least up here in the Northeast. I'm not sure why all of this mold is happening, sounds like wherever the storage facility is has gone overboard with their humidification. Are the feet swollen on the cigars? That's a sign of overhumidification.

Yeah, it can be...none in the foot, but then where will I store em? I'm sure not going to put them with my other cigars again. Plus I'm thinkin the vendor will prob want me to send these back. We'll see.:sadstare:

Okay, so now here's the question I want to ask. Say I quarantine the affected ones, then the ones that appear okay I put in a sealed tupperware container. Is it okay to put the tupperware container in the igloodor? I would very much like to age the non-moldy ones for 2 to 5 years, but want to know if this is safe. TIA for any help. :computer:
If there is mold on the cigars you can wipe it off but IT WILL COME BACK. Smoke em or send them back. A smal sealed environment plus humidity and mold spores = science experiement. Mold likes warmth and humidity. Both things youe need to age cigars. Smoke em or quarantine and watch them every day and when the mold comes back.... smoke them.
Dont worry about it. Based on the pictures, those cigars are still smokable and the quality hasnt deteriorated yet.
The formation of the mold in this particular case is not your fault. I once bought a box of Dunhill Charatan robustos from a reputable dealer. RH was OK, as I was in their walk-in humidor and handpicked a sealed box. So it must have been either transport or the cigars were sealed in a box still too humid. I got a discount as I made a fuss about mold and got cigars on the cheap, they were great. Still have a few after a couple of years, they keep getting better.
My two cents...

I'm pretty sure that the mold spores were already on your cigars before you received them and no matter what you do, they will still carry the spores. You can control the enviorment to inhibit thier return though. You want to make sure that your humidor isn't a welcome enviorment by lowering the rH a few points and see about controling your ambient temperature inside your humidor/coolidor by either moving it to a new location or buying a winecooler (like a Haier) and really get serious about tempterature control.
I don't think that a whole box is worth salvaging, I would send it back. If it's a few singles that you are going to smoke anyways in the next few months go ahead and wipe 'em and light 'em.
