Do you think i could just wipe down the celo on each stick? I know the celo is porous, but don't know if it's porous enough that the mold spores could take hold.

Yeah, that I don't know. I guess you could do a sniff test of them, BUT... if they are contaminated, and being (like you said, porous) how long before the sticks take on that taste and are ruined? It's a gamble, you will ultimately have to decide bro'.

Sorry to hear that... Hopefully you noticed it right as it was happening and you caught it in time!

Sorry to hear that, only experience with mold I have is the Camacho Liberty I received and I simply ended up smoking it right away....I am curious now about my humidor though based on what you said...

Sounds like you caught it pretty early, thankfully. I would def take out your cigars and wipe down your humi and reseason. The cigars without cello, I would probably get rid of, just to be safe.

So, how do you guys clean it? My dome has mold on the lid and one of the trays. All the cigars are in cello, at least the ones in that tray. I have a LOT of cigars in there. I'll have to find a place to put all of them. And no, I will not be sending them to anybody to "Hold On To" for me. :-)

I'd wipe it down it vinegar/water solution and let it air out completely. then reseason, just hope u didn't get any on your sticks.

Thanks for the info. I wiped it down twice including both pull out trays. It's weird because one tray had mold and the other didn't. It seems that it was only on the right side of the humidor. When I was wiping it with my finger it looked more like wipin gup a spider web by the way it spread and not mold but either way I wiped it down. Now, my new question is: does freezing have anythig to do with mold prevention? I froze a lot of my sticks that were in that tray and a few that were below it. I did have 3 cigars not in Cello and they had mold previously but I just wiped it off. Maybe this is where my mold problem started. Because of these three sticks. I'm gonna smoke them soon but I wanted to see if freezing would make a difference.
