Saw on pete's facebook page he had a fire in his fields in Nicaragua. Any one have more info on this?

Now he is going to save all the good stock for the B+M's :-)
[Reply]

Dunng agrees... :-)
[Reply]

So, do you think his sticks will be harder to find, or maybe the price will go up? :-)
[Reply]

It is an excuse to raise prices, which could happen regardless of the factual nature of this story. :-)

That's tobacco for cigars being made 3 years from now. No problemo.

Just confirmed with Tatuaje that nothing too bad happened...they came VERY close, but no damage. Great to hear that the tobacco and barns are ok.

Can anyone post the pics?

I would think it would be pretty hard for a tobacco field to burn if the plants were green. I don't see where the fuel would come from unless there is underbrush. Am I thinking about this wrong?
[Reply]

Bad news indeed. Hopefully it wasn't that extensive.
