There have been about 5,000 acres burned so far in Cuba. For comparison, the largest fires in California in 2020 and in 2021 were each about a million acres, with several other quarter to half million acre fires in California over the last five years.

This is a huge issue, don’t get me wrong. And it’s absolutely yet another sign that climate change is going to fuck us all over. But I’m not sure that “massive” is the most correct adjective to go with for the headline here.

Cigars are mostly produced on the western part of the island.
