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

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!

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.

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

Over a million cigars and who knows how much raw materials.  What a sad day.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.
