No Fuel - No Electricity - No Cigars 

The above was succinctly put to me yesterday in a discussion with industry heads. 

Cigar production is prioritised but there are other demands higher on the list of importance. 

The seriousness of the current situation is hitting home for all within the Cuban cigar industry.

It’s a death spiral at this point - resorts being shuttered just accelerates the pain. Russia may be “welcoming” some new citizens soon.
