White Spots?

whogamawut · 09-18-2009, 04:12 PM

Just got my order from CI today and on a few cigars there were white spots. I think it is mold. Should I return them? Or they ok? Thanks

Let us take a look.

If it doesn't rub off, it's not mold.

That be mold then. Just wipe it off and they should be ok unless it's covered. Then I would contact CI for a replacement.

Might be water spots... not a big deal.

Pics would be great, usually takes significant aging before a cigar develops plume.

Bloom or plume is uniform on the cigar. Mold is splotchy. Both wipe off easily. Pics would help confirm.

It's CIGAR HERPES!!!!

I keed, I keed! Sounds like mold. As long as it's not in the feet of the cigars, you should be OK.

Yes, pics will tell..........

most likely mold but that's nothing to afraid of. A few spots is ok, if it was bad you would know because it would look like fuzzy, furry mold. The kind you see on bad fruit and stuff.

If it's just a few little spots, wipe it off with a damp cloth.

It's almost impossible to guess without seeing the pics. 99/100 times it's mold but as long as it's just a little bit, white, and it's not on the foot, wiping them off will probably be the ticket.

Can't the feet be sprayed with something to cure athletes foot?

Hard to know without a photo to view. Like the others have mentioned, it takes a little while to develop plume.... but anythings possible.
