Rob over on FOH just posted a review up of his experiences so far this year and it doesnt make good reading. Now whether you follow him or not, or like his grading system he sees more cigars than most people so can gauge whats happening better than most.

Cuban cigar quality experiencing a downturn

Very worrying indeed, hopefully the bumper harvest that has recently been reported will result in an improvement in quality next year. Do you think a general lack of tobacco (and quality leaf in respect of the wrappers) is leading to the poor output? I also imagine the expected increase in demand due to the US market is doing little to help as quantity takes priority over quality.

Thanks for sharing that Shaun, I thought it worthwhile grabbing his photos to show people on here what he means by underfilling

Haven't there been bad harvests for a couple of years in a row? That may explain it
I also find that FOH are a bit enthusiastic/OTT (for want of better words) about things sometimes, which I am by no means knocking as I appreciate enthusiasm,and although I haven't posted for a while now I do enjoy the forum, I just sometimes take things they say with a pinch of salt, for example, the way they talk about box codes
