Ok, I'm sorry friends, I know this discussion is mentioned here alot. But t I don't think this should be taken litely. (Search never works for me)I have a very big glass top humidor (That I got hit with From RDG) and a nice cooler. I have most of my loose cigars in the Humidor with the plastics on that they came with. And alot have dates when I put them in. And the boxes are in the cooler. I have a open box of Padron 64's a open box of short stories, and a few others full boxes not to mention here.
It got very hot in the room last summer, alot but the humidy was more less ok, I'm Planning to get a floor A/C for that room to solve the heat issues.
But here is my Big Question, please.
Those closed boxes I was talking about in the cooler I got this past winter, October 07 in Germany Frankfurt Air port. I opened the boxes to look whats in side and some sticks have the white stuff. I'v seen it n some other sticks here and there, Now this is the big question is it from againg or is it mold?? How in the world can I tell the diffrence? Now Do you wipe them off with your fingers right away? or if its not mold you leave it? Obviosly I'm not going to smoe all the sticks now becase they have the white stuff. Can you kep sticks that have ploom or not? I'm seen sticks here and there have them. And even once in a while even when I buy local. Now the truth is I might of kept the cooler to humid all winter because I didnt want them to dry out. Now what is to humid? especily if they are in wodden boxes? I do find my sticks that are not in boxes but in the cooler to be soft, is soft no good? Do you let them lay for a few hourd to dry out before smoking?
I'm sorry if this is boring.
Thanks,
Jack
