 Q: I have what appears to be a type of mold that seems to be growing on the underside of the lid on my humidor. There is no moisture source except the regular humidifier that came with the unit and it is not under the area the mold seem to be forming. It is almost the color if the cedar. I thought I had cleaned it out once before by sanding, scraping and using a light bleach solution to wipe the area. It comes off easy enough as a fine powder and the cigars are not affected as yet. Is there a way to permanently remove this or do I need to eliminate it every few months? The humidor seems to be at a constant 70 degrees and 70% humidity and I am using the proper solution and not distilled or tap water. - Bill L. in Illinois

It immediately reminded me of a Havana cigar you might have bought at the neighborhood cigar store during the 1940's and 50's (see the photos).
