Cigar Weekly

Just got these a couple of weeks ago.....the sticks come in aluminum tubes so I unscrewed the tops and put 'em in the bottom of my Gettysburg humidor. I use 70% beads BTW for humidification. Anyway I check today and there is mold on one of the gars. Then on two and three....all ten of 'em. Just small white dots on various parts. I looked closely and only the RyJ tubos are effected. I immediately removed 'em from the Gettysburg and out of the tubes, wiped off the white stuff and stuck 'em in my small, empty (well, it was empty) desktop humidor. I'm pretty sure it is mold and not bloom.

Have any of you had problems with mold and tubos? I'm wondering what caused this. The cigar is in an enclosed environment, even with the top off. I'm thinking that the UPS trip in hot dry weather might have dried 'em a bit and then that clashed with a humid environment. I'm pretty sure they didn't come with mold 'cause I've had three so far which were fine.
