Looks like Fuente had a warehouse fire.

"We don't really know how much tobacco we have lost," said Carlos Fuente Jr. in a telephone interview from the Dominican Republic today. "But it was a lot—a lot of tobacco."

Sounds terrible.

[PLUSH]

see the problem with second hand smoke

"completely destroyed large inventories of aged tobacco and possibly caused smoke damage to some other nearby storage facilities."

Sucks for fuente and those who like their cigars.

found out yesterday carlito's event at outlaw next month has been cancelled.

Weather you like them or not a fire is a terrible thing. I wish them a quick recovery.

 

[Strickland]

Not to make mock, however... I love AF cigars and this is a tragedy.

This won't mean much to the rest of us, however, this will greatly reduce MuMike's inventory as these warehouses were used to stockpile his orders until shipping to the US.

Sucks there are some things you cant replace but insurance will at least pay you back monetarily

I've heard rumos that Mike is actually en route now... to check on his personal "stash"

 

[hdroadglide]

a company as big as AF you'd think they have a detailed inventory of what was where and how much of it, given it could still be early in the "investigatioin" so asses the loss. best case scenario there is some salvageable tobacco and a extremely rare limited release epic HTF opusX line is released... of God of fire

Post of the day right there.

Sad news... Hopefully the damage was isolated and they won't be affected for too long.

 

[PatfromNCC]

I would rather see a church burn.

"It's just so sad. You save it. You wait. You save it some more. In my lifetime, we won't be able to recreate some of this tobacco," Fuente Jr. said.

:sadpace: Damn.
