Cuban farmer Maritza Carpio, 62, is optimistic. Five months after Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc on the island nation and its vital tobacco industry, she has started drying leaves for habano cigars again.
Carpio, who inherited a 5.6-hectare farm from her parents, said she will never forget September 27, 2022, when Cuba’s west coast was battered for hours on end by Ian, with gusts of up to 208 kilometers (129 miles) per hour.
