Is this Mold?

[SignalEater]

Just opened a tin of GLP Bankside and noticed, what looks to be, mold on a few spots… What do you all think?

Close up photo with good lighting would be nice. I see something there but not in much detail.

Looks sort of fuzzy to me. When in doubt contact the supplier.

Pressed Virginias often show some sugar crystals when aged. I wouldn't worry too much.

Here’s a closer look at the “affected” pieces. The rest of the tin seems to be mostly okay.

That does not look good to me. As for the rest of what the tin looks like, mold is in every part of it. It's not like cheese. There's no "good bits" and "bad bits" except to magical thinkers. Tobacco mold is highly toxic. Personally, I'd toss it without a backward glance, but that's your decision to make.

It looks like it has some beautiful crystals, and some weird yellow funk on it. I wouldn't risk it.

If you didn't have your glasses on you would never have known

Seriously though you have to reach out to the supplier so they can respond, can't be done on here.

Truer than you know!

Oh I fully understand believe me, I'm blind in one eye and can't see out the other

I never keep tobacco long so I never see Mold.

Mold can not be identified by crowdsourcing opinions of snapshots.
Contact C&D.

Please provide the studies separating your opinion from other forms of magical thinking, I'm here to learn.

It’s not merely my opinion, it was information supplied to me by a researcher in phytotoxicology which I then read up on.
Now run along and play in the road with the rest of the magical thinkers.

Ha, good one!

I can't compete with that level of intellectual rigor, I'm out.

Adds a little "funk" to the smoke. Enjoy!

Good grief. Only you can really tell if its mold. The pictures you gave us are not very helpful.
