Hurricane Gustav Punishes Pinar del Rio
By Jesse | September 2, 2008 |
Colin Ganley’s site, Cigar Research, has been keeping up with Gustav and its aftermath on the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.
Colin’s Article on Hurricane Gustav:
Pinar del Rio’s most important crop, tobacco was not yet planted but the crop from last year was drying in barns. While some 500,000 bags of premium tobacco leaves were in the process of being moved to safe warehouses, the BBC reported that 1,000 tons of tobacco leaves were soaked in the storm.

Not goo news. And unfortunately it looks like Hurricane Ike is going to do even more damage to Cuba.
