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

76GTFan · 08-26-2011, 12:16 PM

Sad. Must have smelled great though. JK.

BigAsh · 08-26-2011, 12:17 PM

Ouch!....looks like they lost some old/aged tobacco...

kelmac07 · 08-26-2011, 12:18 PM

Ouch!! Some rare/old tobacco that was being "saved" for special projects was lost.

Drez · 08-26-2011, 12:19 PM

wow crazy stuff. i hope everything turns out ok for them.

maninblack · 08-26-2011, 12:20 PM

Glad no one was hurt in the fire.

08-26-2011, 12:22 PM

9 fires in their history?? Sounds like they need an better plan.

Beagleone · 08-26-2011, 12:23 PM

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

irratebass · 08-26-2011, 12:23 PM

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.

gbum · 08-26-2011, 12:23 PM

urgh... thats bad...

Mikess · 08-26-2011, 12:28 PM

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

DPD6030 · 08-26-2011, 12:34 PM

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.

ucla695 · 08-26-2011, 12:49 PM

Sad indeed. I agree...prices will go up.

WittyUserName · 08-26-2011, 01:09 PM

That sucks hard core. Time to stock up on some AFs

N2 GOLD · 08-26-2011, 01:28 PM

This is a big bummmmer... I hope there pricing wont shoot up.

Zeuceone · 08-26-2011, 02:24 PM

They should have bottled the smoke.

thechrisdotcom · 08-26-2011, 02:28 PM
