Kalt's Moldy Cuabas

Buyer beware.  Unless you like mold.  Then have at them.

I've bought from Kalt before and have gotten great cigars... I would almost say for under $10 a cigar for 16 year old cuabas, they're priced
Fairly for the condition (if one doesn't mind smoking cigars in said condition).

However I am  not a buyer even for that low price.

LOL!!! Plume that wipes off easily?! Haha

Well apparently you have a grudge with the seller and blatantly photo-shopped mold on what most likely are perfectly fine cigars.


thats dirty bro.

Yeah, I've bought a lot of aged stock from Kalt over the past year, and every stick was pristine and perfect.  It would be SHOCKING if he sent these this way.

No refund available?

It is NOT mold.  Mold does not wipe off.  It's plume. I know it can look like mold.  Mold damages the wrappers.  Every time. 

My humidor is at 67% and these cigars are nowhere near the humidification unit.  You can wipe this stuff off with your finger.

If i wipe all this plume off and retake the picture will that help?  Or will you just say i'm photographing different cigars?

Has one person ever accused me of selling or trading a bad cigar?  Do i have one negative comment?  Ever?  Why would I take a picture of moldy cigars and send it to someone interested in them? 

Some people have no clue what they're talking about.

This really pisses me off.  People have been debating "plume or mold?" for years.  Unless you know what you're talking about sometimes it can be hard to tell one from the other.  This stuff brushes off with a fingertip and there's absolutely zero sign it was ever there.  Mold does not come off like that.  Mold leaves permanent damage to the wrappers.

But plume never looks yummy.  So it's easy to take a pic of plumed cigars and claim it is mold. 

I'd like to think my reputation and history would give me the benefit of the doubt.  Nobody has ever sent a cigar back to me with a problem, let alone for mold.  No clue who this guy is, but he's an idiot.
