Mold?

Hello all: I just reviewed the post by Kuzi from 2013 I believe, but wanted to post this pick. I've seen some mold before and very rarely light plume...just rec'd this box this evening, (I've never seen so much white) and based on Kuzi's take on the mold vs. plume debate this would appear to be mold...due to seeing structure and it appears to be on top on the cigar. But wanted to get a second or third opinion.

    100% mold. No question whatsoever.

    Im kinda new, but been around long enough to say that looks like mold. I hope you can return for a replacement?

    it's white mold typically from over-humidification that can be salvaged. first take a look if there's mold on the foot. if there is, demand a full refund. If not, take a damp paper towel (damp it with distilled water), wipe them off, and isolate them in a zip loc bag or tupperware (with humidification). check them every week or so for a few weeks. If the mold doesnt come back, you're good.

    Thx for the replies, opinions and resolutions. The dealer is reputable...so I think I'll begin there. If a hassle ensues then I'll wipe them off and isolate as jilu suggests. It's a shame, the PS4's are consistently a good smoke...when they don't have fungi growing on them...thx again.
