Actually happened to me once. Uncontrolled humidity (in a closet humidor) during summer time took over in the humidor and I found several boxes with mold heavily infesting the cigars. Now, it wasn't bloom, that faint sometimes patchy white fluffy stuff you can find on the surface of the cigars, but that green-blue thick stuff that seems to impregnate the whole cigar, & even impart a "moldy" smell.

Several boxes (that sat closest to the source of humidity), were affected. It was heartbreaking!! By some strange coincidence I decided not to throw away any of the boxes, just too painful to do, but to let them sit outside the humidor (the room tended to get very dry in the summer due to AC) till I decided what to do.

For a lot of the cigars that were least "wet", the mold actually diminished or completely cleared, and they were smokeable & decent. Some of the cigars that were most affected werer just too badly spoiled and I ended up tossing them out. Overall, about half of the affected cigars were salvaged just by allowing them to air out & dry. Most of those smoked just fine w/out any noticeable change in flavor, character, or burning.

Try it out. If the cigars are moldy & a lost cause anyways, what have you got to lose?
