Ok, so I know mold/plume is a hot topic, so I come here for advise/info.
I have(2) local shops that I frequent in my area. One of them is larger then the other and has a wide variety from lower-end clear up to sticks out of my price range.
The shop is not as fancy or well kept as some shops I have seen, but has a huge selection and the staff are very helpful.
The other shop is smaller but has quality over quantity. I have been going to this shop more lately, as I am trying to expand my cigar pallet and try new things.
The other day, I returned to cigar shop #1 (the larger of the two) an noticed that not only did many of their cigars have what I could deem a mold on them (white fuzzy spots), but so did many of the insides of the display cases. Almost 25% of of their cases had white fuzzy stuff covering the glass. The glass was foggy in spots, and some areas white fuzzys. It really worried me. I actually didn't purchase anythings in fear of getting sick.
Has anyone ever seen this? Am I incorrectly identifying mold?
I am relatively young to the cigar world so I don't want to offend anyone, especially my local shop owner. Do I say something or just shop elsewhere?
