This sucks. 800,000 cigars lost. Thankfully no one injured.

    Wow, that is a tragedy. Not just cigars lost, but possibly jobs as well...at least for a time.

    Room 101 and a lot for Caldwell. I’m not sure what else.

    Looks like Room 101, Caldwell, and La Barba are made there, among others. Well, that sucks. I hope no one was hurt.

    Since it was the DR I feared yet another catastrophe for A. Fuente. I want some Opus, dammit!

    No…that was Tabacalera Pichardo/Ace Prime

    On the Light Em Up Lounge Zoom call with Jon Huber today he mentioned that they will continue to work with Eradio Pichardo to make cigars, that Ace Prime never made cigars for Crowned Heads. There should be some sort of official announcement made in the coming weeks.
