SO, the Aristocrat is at 65%, 65 degrees, and has been for some time. I open up one of the singles drawers...and what do I find on some of my nicest smokes...but a significant amount of mold! Now, three of these cigars are pretty new to my collection, and it was on those three that the worst of my mold problem centered, so I guess that they were the culprits for bringing in the spores.
Now, I have never had a mold problem before...do I need to go home tonight, empty the whole humi and wash it out? I already took out the humidification/ air moving device and am going to wash it thoroughly and change the wick.
I have segregated the cigars that were affected, and will briush them off and smoke them all soon (shame, as some of them are quite rare and special).
Anyone know if the Peltier unit might need to be cleaned somehow?
On the plus side, not knowing if the affected cigars will just conitune toget wose, I forced myself to smoke one of them this weekend, jsut in case the rest are ruined by further growth...yummy early 80's Davidoff....just the thing before a Dropkick Murphys show.
