Here is the response from Famous
Dear Jason,
I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for the quality of your recent order from Famous Smoke Shop for the CAO Vision Catalyst.
We at Famous Smoke Shop take pride in our unmatched service and quality and I assure you that your experience is in no way typical. As a cigar smoker myself I can understand your disappointment. I'm sure you know that a little bloom on a cigar is nothing to be concerned about and can easily be wiped away without any affect on the cigars. In fact, some people say that a cigar with a little bloom is one that is well aged and will provide an excellent smoke. Mold, however is another story.
After inspecting your cigars, they do indeed have enough bloom (not mold) that I can see would concern you. Either way, you must be completely satisfied before we are. We take customer satisfaction and quality very seriously. As a gesture of our sincerity, I'd like to offer you a 10% discount on your next order with Famous. We know you have choices when it comes to cigars and we want you to continue to choose us.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.

They are willing to give me a 10% off coupon so that I will be quiet and stop bothering them.
They are, however, not going to accept that there is mold on those cigars. They have pulled out the ambiguous term "bloom". It is bloom, a fungal bloom. With over 10 years experience designing chemistries to be resistant to bio-growth, I know what sclerotinia looks like.
I am happy that they are willing to try and make me happy with the discount, but I am done with my dealings with Famous for quite a while.
