Any word on Irma's effect on Cuba Tobacco Industry?

[Geaux]

That is all.

[Nino]

None.

That's all.

[zappaFREAK]

Doubt it is good. 

[btort910]

Not much in PDR region.

You can believe this blatant BS ( posted a day before Irma hit Havana ... ) :

CUBAN CIGARS DESTROYED BY HURRICANE IRMA

CUBAN CIGARS WIPED OUT BY IRMA

FIRST MATTHEW, THEN SANDY NOW IRMA

WIPES OUT CUBAN CIGARS AGAIN

For the third time in a decade Cuban Tobacco (and most agricultural products have been wiped out). Hurricane Irma hit Cuba near Santiago and the eye of the storm traveled across the island tearing up everything as it went. Irma turned right just east of Havana and headed straight for Florida where the reaction is full evacuation.

THe CA article sounds encouraging. I certainly hope it turns out to be accurate and true across the countries farms.

There are so many idiots in this world 

As Nino said. No damage.

Did they not note the HUNDREDS of radar plots on the internet and/or over the TV airwaves? Maybe they have no clue where the majority of the tobacco is grown?

This was probably written on behalf of all the non Cuban cigar companies.

... regardless!

Tobacco is scarce and wrappers impossible. Quality will go down and the price will need to go up!

Lord knows they will need to pay a premium for those crisp gold laced bands printed in other counties!

EDIT: Cuba does not need a hurricane to destroy cigars. Tabacuba is doing a great job without one!!!

LOL.  Awesome.  THIS (but I'd say Habanos S.A. is the main culprit, LOL).
