black spots

Big T smokes

I busted out a "5 Vegas Classic" and I noticed some black spots on it, especially aroudn the veins. Not alot but enough to notice. what is this?? I took a pic but my camera sucks and you really cant see the spots.

If they aren't on any others i would not worry about it. Just smoke it.

what about green spots? Out of all the cigars I have, there are like 2 cigars with a small green on there, one is a MoW virtue. Any worry?

Are they 3D and can you wipe it off? If so, it might be mold.

usually a green spot is a harmless bit of unfermented tobacco. I see a green spot on the wrapper every now and again. Especially visible on a conny. But so long as its not fuzzy, its fine.

Those are waterspots. They are caused when water droplets condense on the tobacco leaf while it is growing. The water blocks/filters the sunlight, resulting in the discoloration on the leaf.
