I went into a store in TN that had near all of the stock molded over. Woman asked why I didn't want to purchase anything and didn't understand when I told her...

Even the band looks like it's plumed out (down towards the bottom)!:-)

I would wipe it down, let it dry out for a day or so in a dry humi or on my counter and light up and enjoy.

Was the band removed at one point? (does not look like it lines up correctly)
Maybe it's a fake... (mold and all)

PERSONALLY I would not smoke that. But like they said, wipe it down and smoke it if you feel like
"Hey it's an OPUSX and dammit, I am going to smoke it." It's your cigar. And if you are overweight,
I personally have found the black variety better than dieting for producing weight loss, lack of appetite
and a lil liquid down south.

The alignment problem is because it's been trimmed. AFAIK, they do that to all the bands that go on the lanceros, as they would wrap all the way back around to the face (front) if they didn't.

ADDENDUM: Here's the untrimmed band:

You can see how, even after trimming off an end, it still wraps back around to cover the "Op" in "Opus X" on the opposite side. That's why looks so strange, the under flap of the band is taller and rounded, while the over flap is shorter and straight. The straight lines across the bottom of the band still line up perfectly though.

Ask Russkin about smoking moldy Opus. He had a death cough for weeks

A small amount of mold is no biggie to wipe off, then smoke the cigar. That is a LOT of mold and I wouldn't smoke it. Some mold can be rather harmful so, I would shy away from a concentration that high. I mean, it looks like a sheep ready for the shears for pete's sake.
