Emergency! Mould in new humidifier.

RIP Hoyo de Monterrey Corona.

Woke up this morning and the half of it was green. It was the least expensive of my stash, so I'll won't worry.
 
I'd zip-loc those sticks if I were you...at least until you know they themselves are mold-free.

While that's happening, I'd clean the humidor as per instructions earlier in the thread, and re-season it....if there's mold, it will show up during that time.

This is what's going on at the mo'. Only the Hoyo as succumbed to the deadly mold so far.

The other stick are hangin' in there.

Thanks, dude.

I wiped the humidor internals with mild bleach solution and the cigars with mild PG solution as recommended.

Re-seasoned the humidor and it's sitting empty at 68% RH. NO mold build up to date. Re-checked the sticks this morning, still no mold, although the Diplomaticos #2 looks like it's going to split soon.

Can't believed I typed that! PG did not touch the cigars. I must have been out of it this mornin'!

I'm quite appreciative of all the support from this group. Thanks, to all who have contributed.

Looks like the humi is on the comeback. Still sittin' pretty at 68% RH with no mold in sight. Sticks are lookin' like they're enjoying the plastic quarantine.
