So I found the dreaded mold on some of my cigars. This pic below is the worst of them.
These are on my H. Uppmans. There was also some traces on some of the Punch Punch and Ramone Allones. Thankfully none on my Cohibas. I keep them in a cooler with heartfelt beads. They are kept around 68% RH. What can I do to fix this? ]

Quoted:
As long as it is not on the foot, wipe it off. If it were me, they would be in my "smoke first" list. Also....I have been served well by keeping the humidity and temp lower. I try to stay at a 64/64 match. ^^This the h upmanns have been known to do this as long as its white and not green and not in the foot you should be good. At %64 I find cigars smoke better anyway. Is this a new h upmann resarve? |

Is this a new h upmann resarve? Nope. H. Uppman No. 2. It's white. Nothing on the foot. It was on about 5 of the 15 I had left. I brushed them off and separated them. I also went back in better light and looked at the Punch and Ramone Allones and there was a very light cloud on some of them. I brushed them off. |

Cut the head and smoke it. Put some PG in your humidifier, that should help suppress future mold growth. In my cabinets, I have separate humidifier that I put PG in once every three month. |

Exactly, keep it out & away from others. Lower temp is important. 70 seems quite high. You don't want to turn your humidor into a peach tree dish!!! That is funky looking mold too! |

betting your temps are higher than expected
had a similar problem *cough* "edgestar 28" *cough* for me it was either run the a/c in the house all day long in the summer and pay $$$$ or go active with the wineador. and pay a little money up front and a dollar or two a month. 64/64 and actually I set mine up on a timer. it runs while we arent home and in the middle of the night to keep the air circulating |
