Green Stuff On Wrapper?

Posts: 6 ✭
Hey everyone,
Once in a while I'll pull out a stick that has some green spots on it, usually just bean sized and usually just covers an inch or so area on the wrapper. I wonder if that's mold or something else? Is it safe to smoke? It only happens maybe every 20-30 cigars, sometimes worse in a box where it might have the spotting on half the box.
I kind of go through a lot, I smoke 4 American Label, Churchill's, every day, so I figure some quality issues for my volume of smoking is expected for this kind of product. One time I smoked one that had a lot of the spots and afterwards felt like I had a nicotine od lol, maybe just smoked too much that day, or maybe the green stuff did it? Haha

Yeah, we're going to need to see a picture. Could be any number of things.
I'll post a pic the next time I run into one. The one I'm smoking right now had it, but I already smoked through
I'd never seen green stuff on the wrapper, probably because I usually smoke cigars with darker wrappers, hence I wanted to see a picture, but a quick web search turned up a site with some info on this which may be what your seeing, @Thane. I was wondering if you might be seeing water spots, but I've never seen them large or green.

@Yakster oh yeah that pic looks similar, I mostly see bean sized circles, but sometimes it's a little rectangle or line too. Well that's a relief that it's most likely just discoloration. I don't know why I didn't Google it first but yeah I just looked up a couple articles and they all say it's safe to smoke too.
My daily smoker is definitely a light colored wrapper, makes those blemishes stand out a lot more.
Anyhoo, thanks for the advice and looking into it, appreciate it!
It just water stains. Many cigars have them. No affect on smoking them.
