Intro:

The harvest of tobacco leaves in Pinar del Rio has entered its last stage, with great quality, thanks to the efforts made by the producers and the favourable weather.

These results are being achieved despite the battering suffered by the territory from two hurricanes that seriously damaged the infrastructure of this industry, but has recovered most of its original capacity.
