yea, I've heard it is the most important to make sure moisture doesn't get into the walls, or else, it just molds away. I could see so many ways of that happening..
-Didn't wrap it properly
-Didn't coat it properly
-Stacks weren't compressed close enough together
just to name the major ones I could see. Humidity definitely doesn't help.
