Default Re: Mold....DAMN HOW I HATE YOU!

If the mold is white, you can save the cigars if it is only on the wrapper. (If the mold is blue or green, toss them. And as mentioned above, if its on the foot, then it has traveled up into the cigar and again, you should toss it.)

I use isopropyl alcohol, which can be bought at any grocery or drug store for about $2. Before people start recommending high proof liquor . . . don't. Liquor has other ingredients, including sugars, that can cause harm later on.

A gentle wipe down of the cigars, and a thorough wipe down of the humidor, should fix the problem. The tubes are a loss, toss them right away. Keep this humidor at 65% humidity going forward to inhibit future mold growth. You should be fine.
