Some humidors have the hygrometer mounted on the exterior. You are way better off having a digital hygrometer/thermometer on the inside. (or two) They are more accurate and adjust to current conditions faster. Your smoking experience will be greatly improved when you get your humidifier tuned and accurate.
Throw away the directions that come with the humidor. Use the gel or beads. Do NOT use a dial hygrometer. Get a digital hygrometer. Leave it a couple days with no cigars. You are now good to go. This method will save you ALOT of pain. If you have a large humidor get one of the electric units that self regulate and double check it with your digital hygrometer.

Get rid of the dial. Trust the digital hygrometer. If you have a large humidor get two.
A humidor , along with a hygrometer , should maintain a relative humidity of 70 percent and a temperature of 70 degrees . This 70/70 rule of thumb is not set in stone but more of a guideline .
It could be they were rolled wrong. It also could be the humidity is to high in your humidor. They don't smoke very well above 70%. Get a digital hygrometer.
dear ,keep your cigar in the humidor!
Once you have mold you pretty much need to start over. Every cigar in the humidor will be affected. (infected) You could try leaving the humidor open for a week or so and giving it a light sanding and re-humidify it with out cigars for a week or two, then test it with some expendable cigars to see if it ruins them or not. Use a digital hygrometer and the crystal jars not the sponges with water. It make it easier to regulate and keep the mold away. If the humidor is a cheapy, I would toss it and start over.
I store my cigars in a humidor to keep them fresh and at the proper humidity level.
A humidor cabinet can be made out of wood. Humidor cabinets can also be made with similar construction to a fridge, that is with a metal casing and plastic insulation.
The Thompson Cigar Company in Florida has the largest humidor in the US .
Both, I work at a cigar and tobacco shop. We have a huge cigar case with a humidor. A humidor keeps them fresh, wrapper, or not-just throw them in:-)
Who invented the first hygrometer?
