Green spots on cigar

[Razorhog]

Is this normal? I've had this slow-aged by perdomo in my humi for about 6 weeks I think. Pulled it out to smoke it this evening and noticed the green spots after I lit it. I really enjoyed the other slow-aged I had, and so far this one tastes fine. The ash fell off after only about 1/4 inch though...

individual drops of water might have dripped from yer humidifier onto the gar.

They are water spots that occured during fermentation. Very, very common.

Ok thanks. I've never seen them before, but I thought something could be wrong and I haven't noticed it yet because the majority of the smokes in my humidor have a darker wrapper.

The cigar is coming along nicely, but it seems to have a bit of a harsh edge to it. If I could just get that nice "under flavor" without the harshness it would be great. Paring it with a mixed drink of Old Charter 10 and Diet Coke.

I asked the same question earlier and got the same response. I actually put it out for 20 minutes while I waited for answer since I didn't want to smoke mold, but it was fine. I never got the least bit sick or anything of the like. On the cigar, I doubt you'll be getting to taste the flavor w/o the harshness. At least I never did when I smoked that thing. One of the worst cigars I've had which sucks since I was looking forward to it after smoking some of the perdomo cabinet series.

You know, that is funny because I didn't like the Cabinet series that I had. It was very harsh and just didn't taste good to me. I thought I wouldn't like the slow-aged because I didn't like the Cabinet. I had the Silver cello, which I think means it had a cameroon wrapper.

Ya, that was my least favorite. I liked the champagne and maduro tho.

Can't say I agree with this. Like I said, it is very common especially with Habanos and have smoked many that have been delicious.

As for the cigar that sucked, it was a Perdomo after all.

I didn't mean it was harsh because of the water spots, I meant it was harsh because the cigar sucked.

Not a Perdomo fan huh?
The one that I really enjoyed (thanks to SmokeyScotch) was the no.2
Not sure what you call the shape (perfecto maybe?) but it is a dark little cigar that is tapered on both ends. Still got one in the humi for a special occasion

Just a little rib. There are a couple of Perdomo's I like. But only a couple.

I'm a complete newbie really... would you mind telling which ones you like?

[NCRadioMan]

I like the de Silvio, the Fresh Rolled and the Genuine Pre-Embargo Cuban Counterfeits. What a silly name, eh?

I had this same thing on an Alaidos I had. I thought it was mold at first but it didn't come off or anything- I also noticed the cigar was a bit harsh, almost with a cigarette like taste. So do the green spots affect taste? or are they an indication of something that could?
