Hello, new here, signed up to ask a question about some memories I picked up.....is this mold or just discoloring, it did not rub off or appear to smear.

Thank you

    Cut one open and see if it’s inside. Me I’d just smoke till I get close to the white spot then toss it. 😀

    Doesn't look like mold to me. Green is natural, not necessarily an indicator of mold on cigars. Shade grown Cuban seed tobacco can naturally often have green splotches, and sometimes may occur during the curing process.

    Not mold

    green spots are
     genetic to all Cuban-seed tobaccos, especially tobaccos that are “shade grown.” They're also often caused by water spots that occurred on the plant during the curing process. They may not be pretty, but the blemishes will generally not affect the flavor of the cigar.
