i am not really the guy to ask, but recently a guy asked and the answer was that many cubans have them...they are called "sunspots". and the green is like a natural dye or something...wait till smarter brothers post...whatever MACS says is gonna be right.

Relax. Read the following desciption of the phenomenon:

"Sun spots. Another "spot" a cigar gets is called by various names. Sun spots, water spots, rain spots. A nice green, blue-green or aquamarine spot on your cigars, especially if you are looking at a Havana, is a very common occurance. These spots will have a clearly defined edge to them. If you look at them sideways, the spot will not rise above the cigar the way mold does because sun spots are a part of the wrapper. If your wrapper has a nice oily sheen, sun spots will have the same oily sheen to them as the rest of the cigar. These spots are natural, a part of the leaf, and nothing to worry about. Some people even use them as an indicator of authenticity for Cuban cigars."

I would say not, but then again, the lighting is poor, so I can't really tell . . .

Not mold. normal for cubans.

Poor quality control, or maybe just lower standars for the smaller sticks.

I bet it tastes good though.

Not Mold. Just discoloration in the leaf. Mold is fuzzy, white.

Alot of the cubans I have been getting lately have these little off color dots and green splotches. As was mentioned before, it probably just poor quality control. They are so strapped for cash, they aren't too picky about these quality control issues.

I think you're all wrong.

I say it is mold.

But, to be sure, send it to me for further inspection.
