stogieluver Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I wonder how the heavy rain which caused curing barns to collapse will impact the current crop. Article can be found on the FOH website. Be warned...you'll throw up in your mouth reading it, though. Can't be good. Prices will certainly rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Unfortunately you cannot control mother nature. Cuba will recover just as it has in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Good job they have been storing lots of tobacco from previous harvests, good foresight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olotti Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Doesn't this always happen?? Theyll rebound as they always have and prices have risen without losing crops or tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafner32 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Very sad article, thanks for the heads-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 A friend in HAV mailed me that Hector Luis Prieto was shown on Cuban TV three days ago trying to save ( move to higher ground ) some cujos of tobacco, so it must have been quite bad. Information is that the rains have been tremendous and bad for the farmers in PdR province, with storm Andrea starting there and moving west.

mk05 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Terrible news. Not to sound insensitive, but does this mean the crop next year should be fantastic? Just extrapolating from how '08 hurricane provided an excellent '09 crop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rob Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 It's a hard living at the mercy of mother nature there.... It was only just recently they were hit by Sandy. For their financial security, I sincerely wish them as little damage as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I thought Habanos now has 5 years supply. How do you know you smoke tobacco from the 09 crop? Terrible news. Not to sound insensitive, but does this mean the crop next year should be fantastic?
