Black Frigate—Mold?

[butsiethesungo]

Greetings,
So today I thought I would enjoy a nice bowl of C&D Black Frigate and to my surprise I found a white cob-web like substance growing on top of my tobac. I am afraid that it may be mold. I keep my can in my coolidor with all my other jarred tobacco. I need help identifying this substance from BOTL

That is the strangest looking brick of BF I've ever seen, but that certainly looks like mold.

Yes, sir, that is definitely mold. Kind of makes the eye tear up a bit.

Definitely mold unfortunately. Seems this one and Kajun Kake were particularly suceptible

My biggest one was 10 tins of Bijou during the 2016 incident.

And the 1st release of Carolina Red

Never bought any of that one. Was a choice between it and 5100. To the OP, contact the seller. They will very likely replace it.

Sad to see.
Was this on opening or had you opened it sometime ago?

 

[bnichols23]

Crap. That's a royal bummer. :evil: :crying:

 

[Chasing Embers]

Out of curiosity, what is the date on the tin?

 

[josephcross]

Time for a burial at sea! Seems fitting for a tin of the ol Frigate.

Thanks to all who posted and Chasing Embers for posting my picture.
Joseph, you are correct—a burial at sea is definitely warranted for the BF
Chasing Embers, the date is: 03/27/17. I’ve had it open for approximately a year, enjoying it over time.

Okay, well past the mold incident at C&D.

I’ve had it open for approximately a year, enjoying it over time.

Okay, possibly exposed to something after being opened.

I thought mold was the secret ingredient in Black Frigate.

I thought mold was the secret ingredient in Black Frigate.

It would have been, but Esoterica has that market cornered.

True connoisseurs of the Frigate know that the secret ingredient is actually the ground up bones of Davy Jones himself.

:rofl:

C&D strikes again. I root for this tobacco house so hard, but they continue to have mold issues. They’ve always been great about replacing moldy tins, but c’mon with this!? It shakes my confidence in them. Bummer.

Tobaccojoe, the original poster states later in this thread that he's been enjoying the tin over time throughout the year. It's likely the mold was introduced much later after opening.

Where does the OP live? I live in AZ, and don't run into mold issues for obvious reasons.
