Looking at Hurricane Charlie’s history, it looks like it went right over Pinar del Río, <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><ST1:COUNTRY-REGIoN w:st="on">Cuba</ST1:COUNTRY-REGIoN> (That is the region where most of the tobacco in <ST1:COUNTRY-REGIoN w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">Cuba</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGIoN> is grown). I did a quick google news search and found this article which claims most of the crop was destroyed. ;-(<O:P></O:P>

I shouldnt be reasearching that early in the morning. The articleI mention above is talking about huricane Camille in 1969.
From what http://www.lioncrest.com/cigar.resource/book17.html, says the tobacco season doesnt start until early September, and seedlings are not planted for 45-60 days, so looks like the tobacco wasnt effected.
