Cuban Cigar Shortages Hit Canada
Cuban cigar enthusiasts in Canada are grappling with severe shortages due to global supply issues exacerbated by fuel problems in Cuba. The countrys cigar production has been significantly impacted by the U.S. invasion of Venezuela, which halted oil exports, affecting transportation, factory work, and shipping. Additionally, natural disasters and increased global demand have further strained production. Shop owners like Jay Henderson in Windsor, Ontario, are left waiting for remaining stock in Cuban warehouses, comparing the situation to pandemic disruptions. The Canadian government has even issued a travel advisory due to fuel and food shortages in Cuba. Labor shortages in factories have also reduced roller teams from around four hundred to just eighty workers, slowing down the production of premium cigars that take years to age. Retailers are now stocking more cigars from other countries like the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, anticipating a potential surge in demand if the U.S. ever opens its market to Cuban cigars.
