I guess I should have known better then to go to a tobacco store instead of an actual cigar shop. There is a place near me that actually has a 10'x8' roughly walk in humidor with top brands.

I figure great, I will swing in there instead of making the hour trip up to the humidour in Timonium, MD. Well I know I shouldn't expect much but damn there was mold on 25 percent of the cigars in there. When I walked in I felt like I couldn't breath the humidity was so high.

Sigh......So many good sticks in there. Shame.

So much for that little trip today. Planned on picking up a Tat, Illusione, My Father and some Oliva Vs. They had all of those but damn.

Anyway I'm finished with my rant, just wish ALL people who sold cigars gave a **** about the quality in which they keep them.

Did you say anything to the shop keeper?
[Reply]

Yeah but I just got this look :-)

Last time I go there, should have made the drive. But in the end I was so pissed I just ordered a box of Tatuaje series Ps to make me feel better :-)

No, man! That's PLUME!!! LOL!

That's the response I get 85% of the time that I point out mold to cigar and tobacco shops!

Next time that you go there, if there is a next time, bring a magnifying glass. Mold will appear fuzzy, while plume will look like dust.

If there are so many cigars with plume, it would appear that that B&M doesn't do much cigar business; and there must be a reason for that, more than probably the high temperature in the humidor.

It's not their primary source of revenue, they just don't care!!!

BINGO....

Just amazes me why one would go through the trouble.

No need, it was mold 100% and no I will not be returning. I was being lazy instead of just driving out to a known great B&M.

ROLF so true! But they don't know what its called. And they always say its the good stuff on there. :-)

We have a lot of shops like that out here. Its either to hot. To moist or dry. And you can bet you'll find mold some where.

I know the feeling!!! Found some beetles in a box of Hoyo's in a local shope. Owner said he knew about them but didn't want to pull them out of the humi, I don't know why????? I went back in, bought a couple other sticks and when they looked away I threw the box of hoyo's in the trash...LOL. Had to protect any future botl from getting screwed....:-)
