Damn, that sucks. Hope they are able to recover from this one as well.

I saw that last night. Pretty devastating to lose that much rare tobacco. I wonder how this will affect their production and special projects.

That's a shame! I wonder if this will hurt their supply and these will become scarce cigars for awhile. Glad no one was hurt though.

Man I hate to see these things happen. I am sure they will rebound given time.

Good thing I don't really care for their cigars...prices are probably going to go up.

Curing barns exploding and tobacco warehouses burning is, unfortunately, just part of the business.

I assumed what Adam said. When you're fermenting, you're gonna have fires. Not cleaning poop out of the barn well enough will start a real nice fire from fermenting poop. I imagine not turning bales and not keeping super clean is a good way to burn down a curing barn, as well.
