It appears from the news reports that Cuba's cigar plantations took a major blow from Wilma. Do we buy now or is the price gonna skyrocket in the next several months..

From what I have heard some biuldings took damage but remember, Cuba has has a long standing relationship with hurricanes and are quite adept at dealing with the setbacks that occur from these sometimes devastating storms. I believe that the tobacco planting season has just started so if there was any plant damage it would not be that much big of a set back to get new ones into the ground.

They don't plant until November; there's no harvest in the summer. So the land lays fallow during hurricane season, and any tobacco has already been taken from the drying barns to sturdy storage facilities.
