Mold--HELP!
Just checked my humi and noticed a cheapo cigar on the top shelf had developed a spotting of mold. No worries, just removed it.
Then, noticed the humidity was pushing 70%; that's a bit high for where I like to keep my sticks, and also unusual in that I hadn't messed with the floral foam or gel stick I have in several months. The house I'm in now must just be humid or something. At any rate, I removed the floral foam, as I know it's prone to molding, and in inspecting the cigars, I noticed mold spots on the outside of the cello of a few. NOW, I've removed all the cello from the humidor, and all the humidification elements (hope to dry it out down to my usual 65% or 62% to make it a bit to make it less hospitable for mold) My question is, since the majority of cigars in there were covered in cello, should I be worried that they're going to mold? The sticks themselves were flawless looking, and there was only mild spotting on 2 cello wrappers. The ambient temp the humi stays at is anywhere from the low 50s to low 60s, if that makes any difference. |
