How sad! Glad that there were no injuries, but factory/inventory is a total loss for Room 101, Caldwell and La Barba brands.

Well that sucks. Such a devastating loss for each of those brands. I really like Caldwell cigars and the few Room 101 cigars I've had were good. Hopefully those brands and their staff can get up and going again soon.
Wow what a punch to the industry, never like hearing things like this. :-(
I"m actually surprised this doesn't happen more often, I'd think even a small fire could get out of hand pretty quickly if it ignited in the wrong place. I certainly don't want it too, but I always wondered? That is brutal, and very sad, said employed around 100 people, hope they can rebuild it
Woah, thanks for posting - incredibly sad!
Over a million cigars and who knows how much raw materials. What a sad day.
