Burst

The cigar is too dry, the veins on the leaf surface are bulging, the butt is cracked and bulging, it feels dry, and there is a slight "rustling" sound when pinched.

Cigar worms

Pinhole-sized holes appear on the surface of the cigar, and worms fall out of the butt. If you encounter a cigar with cigar worms, you should remove it as soon as possible to avoid infecting other cigars.

Blue-green mold

If cigars are continuously in contact with water or the humidity of the storage environment is very high, destructive blue-green fungi will grow, which will affect both the cigars and the cigar humidor. Cigars with blue-green fungi should be destroyed, and the humidor should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Take out all other infected cigars and do not put them together with healthy cigars.

White mold

Compared to blue-green mold, white mold is less harmful to cigars. Usually, you can just wipe it off from the wrapper. Because cigars are living agricultural products, mold is a common symptom. Don't make a fuss. Just wipe off the white mold with a paper towel. It basically won't affect the taste.
