A day at Fabrica 5

Hamlet spent a day with our farmers today.

Has anyone ever told him he likely could be more productive without a cigar in his hand/mouth? Go forth pres, lay down the hammer 😁

What's the reason for breaking a stem and inspecting?

I had this same thought as well. Maybe it's to show the health of the plant? I'd be curious for prez to chime in

Some serious white ash. How old is the tobacco in that cigar?

Hammy is a tad clumsy. I suspect he broke it by accident and was trying to work out how to put it together before the farmer found out. 

I will confirm when we catch up next week.

Looks like it's saying, 'Oi! Get back to work!!' In a New Jersey accent.

No, that is our farm/supplier. 100% of our Honduran tobacco comes from here.

This is looking great. I can’t wait to see what you guys release next.

Help release moisture and sap, potentially speeding up the curing process. But I am sure he is inspecting how the leaf is coming along in this pic.
