Steps to take after mold

[senor]

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.

I got a very specific question for those with experience of the dark side of our business: mold.

I got a cabinet humidor, with a very open space within (no solid walls of any kind, it's just drawers with floors like grills, basically). Some months ago I got white mold balls on a row of stogies, visible only on parts most close to the obvious source of humidity. I just removed the offenders, and forcibly dropped the humidity level, end of the story at that point. No visible reoccurrence on any stogies visible after that, no taste effects. After all, all it was was over-humidification that I belive caused the affair.

About a week ago, I came home with few full, unopened boxes of stogies. I removed some trays to fit them in. A few days later, I had a closer peek in there - to find the ugly fungus all over the upper insides of the humidor.

A heart attack later, I removed and examined everything. Only one of the exposed singles was visibly hurt, this time with blue-or-gray-ish stuff - yeah, trashcan time. All the other singles (30-something) that were in there seemed to be well. I placed them in a tupperdor of their own.

The outsides of full boxes I wiped with cleaning alcohol, and placed them into large tupperdors. Now some of the boxes look pretty solidly built, with no obvious cracks for air (and spore) exchange, while some have tenth-of-an-inch openings by their lid. That's caribbean precision for you.

Now I have an order in place for a new cabinet humi. The singles, having been directly subjected to spores, will never enter anything else than the tupperdor they're in. But for the (full, unopened) boxes, their contents are quite valuable and I must see them to a proper humidor. I haven't dared to open them to have a look, as not to expose them to anything that may still linger on the exterior surfaces of their containers.

The question is, am I completely safe (of mold reoccurrence) if I just check the contents & toss the boxes into the new cabinet, or am I more safe if I discard the boxes and store all the stuff as singles. And, is even the latter a bit risky given the openings by the lids and all, which may have introduced spores to the stogies? What are the risks either way, to the new humidor and the stogies?

Any opinions appreciated!
