Liberty 08 Mold

[stewshi]

Hey CA wondering if you could help me on this one. I saw a thread about the Liberty 2010's and when I went to a local B&M saw they had 3 08's leftover so I picked up the 2 that werent out of their coffin yet. Well went home opened them up and found the following.

I believe this is mold ..... I also believe they should be able to be saved by just wiping it away but wanted to make sure first. Any help and insight on saving these so they can be smoked another day would be greatly appreciated. It just looks like surface mold and the coffins were sealed with the sticker still intact so it wasnt like the B&M knew about the problem.

Can I just wipe away and store in the humi?

Your images are not working...

However, if it is mold, you cannot just wipe it off... I would take them back to the B&M and ask for a refund or trade for different sticks...

Disagree, if it is mold in the quantities in those pictures (which I feel certain it is) just bush it off, you should be fine.

Of course you can.

Certainly looks like mold. Especially because it seems to be growing up over the band on the foot. Wipe it off

Just be sure that if it is in the foot area than it would be best to bring them back but if it is just surface mold on the wrapper, wipe it off and you'll be good to go like the rest have mentioned. If you are going to continue storing them and not smoke them right of way you may not want to keep them wrapped in the tissue paper and just lay them in their coffins naked. Chances are the paper will reintroduce the mold as it is already there in some form. Nice score by the way!:tu

Thanks everyone I wiped off the mold as it just looked like it was surface area.

But being the first time this has happened to me I was just wondering your opinions on below. One of the wrapper has slight green spots on it while the other doesnt seem to have any. Am I just being too paranoid now?

The first ones are mold the second ones are just imperfections in the leafs. Remember they're a natural thing not manufactured so they aren't all perfect.

Neat thing about smoking mold, you'll no longer have to pay for a penisilon shot :r
