Fungus on Cigars
Not sure on ideal size....
suggest you put one roughly the area of your humidor bottom. Also put the blotting paper on TOP of the cigars. The bottom & sides of your humidor already absorb moisture, adding blotting paper at the bottom will eliminate its absorption effect

just checked my humidor. Its at 72% & my sponge is also dry.
humidity must be due to the fact that you are next to the sea.
put a blotting paper in the humidor to soak up excess moisture & also put humidor inside your cupboard.

i THINK you have a humidity indicator (hygrometer). Possible issues:
1) what you have is 'bloom'. this is a natural growth of whitish spots from the oily skin of a well aging cigar (although I think this is unlikely). solution: show & smoke them with pride
2) too few cigars in the box to absorb the humidity. solution: get more (I can tell you some brands which your friends would enjoy ;-))
3) some of the cigars have fungus spores already present so fungus will keep appearing. separate them from the non-affected ones & smoke them before they get too bad. smoking an overgrown cigar often tastes like wet gymsocks

Hello,
Keep your moisture level lower. Get a humidity indicator. You probably had it above 75%.

Gentlemen:
As you know, I recently bought a humidor. I am mighty pleased I did. I also thought it would solve the problem of taking care of my cigars. Turns out that some of them continue to catch fungus despite being in the confines of the humidor.
Welcome your sagacious advice.

There's a product called DampRid. If you can purchase a box and place it next to your humidor, you should eliminate the problem. I'm assuming it's at its worst during the monsoon?
This is so scary. I love cigars buy I can't believe that there can be fungus on it. I wish that this is not true.

The flavors commonly found in cigars are pepper, leather, coffee, spices such as nutmeg, and even sweet cedar wood. In some cases, natural flavors are added to the cigars for smokers who enjoy aromas coffee, rum, or even berries. I am also very keen in smoking but never smoke this.
