MOLD! My first.

[mso489]

Some mold grew on some Turkish condiment leaf I ordered years ago, but since I've been running lucky. Spores are everywhere, as most of us learn cleaning the refrigerator.

Sorry to see that. Absolutely return it!

Good example of how mold will usually be found in sections as opposed to bloom which is more evenly spread out.

I don't think so. I opened it maybe six months ago, and while I've been careful to keep the bag closed tight, I may have introduced spores when filling jars from the bag. Then again, I've not polluted any other bag or bulk tobacco....

I've resealed the bag, and will see if more develops over time.
