Bought '23 Cringle Flake at a B & M (Not local to Massachusetts). Serious mold, I had to bin it. Anybody else have this problem? Not complaining, only the second problem in 50 years. I don't want to get any more though if there is a problem.

I ordered mine from internet and it did not have mold. It was pretty dry but I enjoyed the smoke.
My 1 open tin was dryer than expected but still great. Smokes real easy in a cob for me.
Sorry to hear that. I haven't bought any of the '23, but all previous editions have been solid and great smokes
Are you sure it was mold? Sutliff has had issues with their packing liners deteriorating inside the tins (according to them). Here’s one example, but I have seen the discussion elsewhere as well regarding Sutliff packaging:

Not really, no. Seems pretty straight forward.

Previous editions were fine. This year’s was just awful and I threw out most of the tin. Mold may have improved it.
I’m going with this. There were a bunch of people who complained about this. Hope the garbage man didn’t come yet, as I think Sutliff will send you a new one.
I passed on the 2023, love the 2019, the 2020 thru 2022 were good with the perique but adding stoved Katerini just threw it off to me, still in stock everywhere, still might buy a single tin to try but not going deep as i did with the other years.
It smelled pretty nasty. white stuff all over it. Maybe the smell was Katerini, not mold, but either way I did the right thing.
I got several tins. ( I do every year) And loved the '23. Very slow burn, no bite...and no mold on the one I opened. A great outdoor smoke... maybe because of the slow burn, and perhaps due to the rich flavor that I enjoyed even with a new england wind blowing.
My tin was fine but I ordered online. It's not my favorite tobacco fresh but I'm aging it to see how it does later this year.
I really like the 2023. No mold encountered yet. Hope that trend continues.
