If it is mold on the outside wrapper, you can try to wipe it off and smoke them ASAP.  If the mold are at the foot or cap, it is over, DO NOT smoke the cigar if you intend to get sick.  If it is bloom, that is a different story.

For the humidor, dry it out and expose it to direct sunlight for a few days.  The UV kills the mold and the spores.  Then retreat the humidor as if it is new.

If it's white mold, knock it off the cigar and smoke it.

I've done it a million times, with no effects.

Green, blackor blue mold, trash 'em.
