[Ben Brand]

Dont know if I do this correctly. Interesting read on how the drought affects the cigar tobacco crop in the Dominican rep.

Doesn't seem to work. Just go on Google, cigar aficionado, Dominican crop report.

I wonder why the link looks different. Different browser I assume. Try this.

Thanks for the link ... interesting read.

It sounds as though, with enough sun, they still obtained a good crop for the year ... hope so!

Now, count 4 years back. All WLT tobacco is aged at least 4 years. Occasionally, we'll get even longer aged, but it's rare.

I'd never read that on the site ... good to know!

Interesting Ben, thanks. Where I am in the Boland no irrigation = no crop. We have only occasional showers between October and end March (nothing that can be relied on) with all the rain falling in the winter. But the crop looks good!!

Is Dominique going to have finally the Cuban taste?...


I ignore if they produce many wrapper but there, that risks to raise problems...
