    Let’s get the story straight.... it was a faulty electrical socket. I once saw Fuente do this. It’s now called the Angel’s Share.

    I hate that. Too bad. It's been a couple years since I've smoked any AB's. After falling in love with the Oliva 2nds, I tried the AB 2nds. Not as consistent. Some were very good, many fell apart and should probably have been named "compost" instead of "Segundo".

    But you know this article will cause many to go out and buy some AB. They’ll be making a post on here in a few months wanting to know how much they’re worth.

    These barns are rarely, if ever, insured.

    I would say a business man like Rubin would have.

    I thought the article said that the barns could not be insured. But, I'm not going to check again.

    Yeah, the barns are old dried wood, with dry leaves hung in them, and fires are intentionally started to cure the leaves. Insurance is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Barn fires are just something tobacco farmers see as a part of doing business.

    @Amos_Umwhat @peter4jc
    You guys are correct. Not insured. Funny how they almost lead with that in the article. Makes for great conspiracy theories tho.

    Headlines are just to grab your attention, wouldn't have the same impact if it just said Alec Bradley curing barn burns

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    I wonder if the firefighters stood down wind?

    That was the Sinoloa cartel barn fire.

    In the police department, when we burned confiscated marijuana plants, I used to stand down wind. It didn't work.
