Have a dozen or so Siglo III tubos from a 15-pack. All the ones I have opened so far have had mold. I've no problems with anything else in my humi, just these ones. It wipes off with no problem, so I've just cleaned them up as I take them out to smoke. Is there anything else I should do or should I just take them all out of the tubos, clean them up and let the tubos themselves sit out of the humi for a couple of weeks?

I'd clean 'em all now. Don't let the existing mold get into foot and mess up the cigar.:-)

They are likely wet so dry them out for a week or two and they'll be fine.

And for my standard it's not mold statement, if what you wipe off dissolves in water, it's not mold, it's minerals. https://inspectapedia.com/Wet_Baseme...ence_White.php

Toss the actual tubos

Wipe down the cigars and if you can segregate them -- even in 5-finger bags -- do so.

Any reason. Not to dry the tubos and keep then to carry the cigars later? They're just so pretty...

Probably have to toss the cedar liners and best to wipe the tubes out to reduce the number of spores left behind.

Clean the tubes out with vodka, stuff will kill everything and evaporate in no time..

So that's what happened to all my brain cells before I switched to craft beer and bourbon...

Explains why I probably won't remember anything in an hour :-)
