I haven't had many mold issues, but I always keep the cello on.
Not worth risking in my opinion. I'll go months without opening my humi or cooler so I don't take any risks. The one time I take all the cello off will be the time my entire humi falls to mold outbreak

I've been keeping at least one humidor (now 4 desktops) for the past 12 years. No cellophane. No mold. Only plume - once or twice. Other than that, they've always looked close to magazine photograph worthy...

One time - just a few sticks (wiped off). This is when I found out 70/70 is a bunch of nonsense, especially with +/- 5/5.
Got a winecooler after that and jacked it up with a tempcontroller (+/- 1*f). That worked fine until I moved to a house with a very temp/humidity- stable basement.Get your sMOOth on - www.bevelset.com

Had one in a coffin that I forgot to crack open a little to acclimate. When I did check it six months down the road it had mold but did not effect any other cigars.
Other than that 1 cigar, haven't had any issues.

This year was the first time I had mold in over 5 years. I leave my cigars as they arrive (as far as cello on or off), so it was confined to a couple of sticks in 3 different boxes. I wiped them down and kept an eye on them and it never came back. I regularly inspect my collection and keep my RH in check (I'm convinced the mold came from the vendor and I just didn't notice upon arrival)....so overall I never really deal with it.
One game in Utah, Jordan dunked on John Stockton. Jazz owner Larry Miller yelled "pick on someone your own size." On the next possession he dunked on 7'1 center Mel Turpin and shouted "he big enough for you?"
When told that Clyde Drexler was a better three-point shooter than him, Jordan responded "Clyde is a better three-point shooter than I choose to be." Then he hit 6 threes in game 1.

Why I keep cello on in tupperdors which I don't open often. Cello off in my "dry box" which I open almost daily.

Back in about 2010, I got a freebie desktop and "seasoned" it by wiping it down with a wet rag. Figured, "if a little's good, more is better" and I left the wet rag in there for a few days. No visible mold. Super accurate brasstic dial hygrometer reads 73 ish, so I figure I'm ready to drop my bundles of Famous Nics and Flor De Olivas in there and they'll be good to go. A week later, the whole left side of the humi (and sticks) are fuzzy. I realized I was in over my head. ...That's what steered me to this great community.
I've seen pigs in boxes and I've seen pigs raised for slaughter.

I've olny had a bad batch of mold once. I bought a box of '98 Punch RS 12s and when the arrived the had a beautiful case of plume (also tasted and smoked amazing). Due to this I smoked them very sparingly. I had them buried at the bottom of the cooler for a couple years when I found them again only to discover they the entire box was overtakes with mold. It was a very sad day when they had to go into the trash. As a result I went back to a wineador and haven't had any problems.
