Well the good news is you can still smoke those cigars. Hopefully you won't see any more mold. Check thru your sticks carefully especially those in tubes or cedar sleeves they tend to breed mold for some reason. I'd empty my humidor and make sure you don't have any in any corners or crevices. If you do you'll have to clean it, let it dry and reason. Hopefully you don't have mold in your Oasis unit. As far as seasoning I'm not a fan of the wipe down method because you can over do it easily.butas long as you find no mold inside the humi you are probably ok. It's a pain but as long as it's the white fluffy stuff not a major deal.
I've had it twice over the years and it never spread.
Glad you did not find mold on the wood. Wiping it down with water or alcohol is not only bad for the cedar it voids your DM warranty. Placing any kind of fine wood cabinetry in the sun can cause fading and warping. I had a cigar oasis I got for my cabinet years ago and I got rid of it after a month.
It's funny same humidifiers that come with $49 humis except have the gold DM lettering.
it a shame! He had a event at one of the local b&m's and showed up with a $4,000 humi made from old scotch barrels...it still had a foam humidifier in it!
When was the last time you changed the refillable cartridge on the oasis? This can grow mold that can be spread via the fan. Cigars that have cedar wrappers etc can attract that. Not sure on your case but changing the water cartridge will prob do the trick.
The correct term is SAPS Lol. The craft stores carry the smaller diameter ones. You can get them in various diameters, crystal shapes and even ice cube shape and size (hydrated). The small one will become small enough to fit thru the slots. I found a source that sells them in 2-55 lb units. The four ounce package I bought should last several years so I don't think I need to bulk up. They are also used in cool ties, some of which are sent to the troops in hot climates.
