Yikes!

cmitch · 08-26-2011, 03:08 PM

Time to stock up on A Fuentes.

chand · 08-26-2011, 03:09 PM

Cigars come and go, people do not. I am relieved that only tobacco was lost to the fire.

hscmit · 08-26-2011, 03:54 PM

what a shame

That's one heck of a fire load. Glad no one was hurt.

DaBear · 08-26-2011, 05:29 PM

Glad to see no one was hurt, but ouch, thats gotta hurt financially. Hopefully business isn't too disrupted for them.

shilala · 08-26-2011, 05:32 PM

If I remember correctly, Fuente's landed in Dominican because their mainland business went up in smoke?

Adriftpanda · 08-26-2011, 05:34 PM

That's really unfortunate. Fuente smokers, you guys better stock up.

Newbie_nick · 08-28-2011, 08:34 AM

Wow...that sucks! Did you see that there were tobaccos as old as 1960? That is just sad...

Newbie_nick · 08-28-2011, 08:34 AM

BTW, what brands does Fuente make other than A. Fuente and Opus X?

He blends a lot of JC Newman stuff, like Diamond Crown, Cuesta Rey, etc.

I thought Brickhouse and El Baton were JC Newman blended, though its not surprising if Fuente does all their blends.

IBQTEE1 · 08-28-2011, 12:02 PM

Wow that sucks.

El Baton and Brick House are not made by Fuente. They are manufactured in Nicaragua by Tabacos San Rafael and utilize only Nicaraguan tobacco.

Very Sad

Glad no one was hurt! Gotta suck for Fuente, but no matter, the workers are more important than the tobacco.

Doctorossi · 08-30-2011, 10:48 AM

Man, the Fuentes must've pissed off the fire-gods in a previous life. They have they worst history with these facility fires.

08-30-2011, 12:19 PM

Damn, I'm heading to a Fuente event tonight. Sucks that it happened, but very good that no one was injured.
