After the wiping, if you are really paranoid ... microwave them for 8-10 seconds each.

I was told by someone recently that after wiping them off to put them onto a sealed mason Jar and place it into a pot of water. Bring it to a boil for x amount of time to kill the spores.
Maybe he will come on here and give the full directions.

Can't tell cause the picture is too fuzzy but that might be bloom. If it is slightly greenish blue then yeah it is mold but if it is white/gray/putty colored then it is bloom.

That might cause the sticks to swell and burst open. At the very least it will harm the flavor.

Definitely plume. Take them to your nearest B&M that deals in vintage cigars and trade them in.

It's Mold.

Mold can be white as well. Plume/bloom is more uniform and does not appear at just one end of a cigar. It will look like a fine dust from head to foot. Mold cannot live at a rh of 65 or lower. That is the best solution to preventing it, imo.

Indeed, the beads, the beads you need.

One plus, the mold appears to be mostly on the head, and easily clipped.

just smoke them . if its only five cigars you should be able to solve that problem in about a week:-)
