Damage Report Info

As Tommy was referring to in the Irma thread, wondering how Bill Wissinger of Island Smoke Shop fared, I thought that I would start this thread for information about other shops and rollers in the affected areas. That way we can keep better track of it.

Anyone that comes across any information, please post it here.

I just looked on FB and Bill marked himself safe. Learned from that, too, that he's the Former Manager of Island Smoke Shop. I didn't know.

There are so many people involved in the Dominican republic tobacco industry down there, owners, factory workers, farmers, it's a lot of people involved that are going to be unemployed and some of the factories and farms may be out for a year or longer. It may have even damaged the aging stock.

I believe that the industry Wil gather together and give any assistance possible to get the places and people back into jobs and production.

Unless I'm remembering this wrong, fuente lost everything in a hurricane and started over in Miami.
