I have a new 250 count box that I have seasoned and today I noticed a spot of what I would call white icicles in one of the grooved led vents. It wiped right off. I can see what I would call light spots in the lid groves also. Is that mold?

I a not familiar with what is considered mold since I have started with my cigar obsession in the last year.

Thanks for any reply.

Send your cigars to me. My trained eye will be able to inspect them and send the un tainted ones back to you.

No need to thank me. Just like helpin fellow BOTL.

I was wondering same thing. If its crystal like could it be minerals in the water?

And did it happen right after seasoning? How long did you season?

If I were you I'd hit it with rubbing alcohol real good. Let it air dry for a day or 2. Then take some sand paper to it. Don't go crazy just take a layer off where the spires or whatever would be. Then re season it for 2 weeks.

Thought I read that somewhere. If its a stupid idea someone will be along shortly to let me know.
