Hey guys, I have been purchasing from an ABC, they are a local alcohol and tobacco retail chain in my area.
I have been buying cigars there for a couple of months when recently i purchased a Romeo Y Juliet in the Tube. Once i got it home, i notice a lot of mold. I brought it back to the store to get an exchange and noticed every other Tube i opened had mold, and some of the neighboring sticks in other boxes were collecting mold... only the Romeo Y julieta were getting affected. When i checked, they had 2 hygrometers, one saying 74% by the door, and the one in the back saying 68%. The employee said he would put in an order for repair.
But my question and concerns are, should i keep buying out of that humidor? or avoid them until they treat the area? How long does it take to secure a walk in humidor once mold is found?
IM really bummed to, because the only other place i can get a decent sticks at a normal price IS MOVING and closed down the spot near me! They are not opening the new shop until after may...
I know there are tons of online reputable sources and i def use them! I still love walking into a humidor and just browsing with my eyes instead of clicking with my fingers!
thanks guys!
