PCF Cigars (38 Viewers)

Enjoying a Julius Caesar robusto after crashing from meetup cleanup this weekend.

Thinking about moving here when I retire. Should have an easy connection with cigar dudes to start back up my home game. That's one of the hardest parts about moving is trying to start it back up.

Should just be plume since it wiped off. Its just from long term storage which you admitted.

Nope. It’s mold. It’s always mold. Sure there’s stories about wiping it off and being fine. Of course mold doesn’t immediately mean tragic death but it’s mold. And you should make a cost benefit analysis fully aware that it’s mold.

@Chipandchair I personally would toss the worst sticks, inspect all of them to see if you see any white on the foot of the cigar and toss those too and then the rest go in bags not the humidor. Then you gotta clean the humidor with isopropyl and then distilled water and completely reseason. Also wondering what you’re using for humidification. Usually not looking in the humidors “in a bit” is more likely to have gone dry so you have been really overdoing it on humidity (an easier problem to solve long term but a more shocking one in the short term).

And then all the sticks you put in bags don’t go back into the humidor till they’ve been in bags 6-9 mo and there’s no evidence of mold

Thanks, I had four 69 Boveda packs. They were all nearly dried up. Just replaced them. Damn, hate to throw away the sticks but don’t want to mess around and get sick.
