Earlier this week we broke the story of the upcoming action-thriller, Operation Smokescreen, featuring starring performances by top cigar industry names like Rocky Patel, Nick Perdomo, Jonathan Drew, Charlie Toraño, Christian Eiroa and others. If you missed it, here’s a quick synopsis:
A deadly necrovirus that originated in Cuba now threatens to permanently devour the tobacco fields in all of Central America. The word is out, and the race is on for a handful of powerful tobacco growers to keep their farms alive by finding the “anti-virus”- the only force that can stop the process. Hand-picked by a powerful “Mystery Man,” some manufacturers have agreed to work together, while others have decided that it’s in their best interest to see their fellow growers’ losses. Matters are complicated by a rogue faction within the CIA who wants in for their own reasons. A double-cross among the growers, torture, murder, and mayhem ensue, all in the effort to obtain the serum and thwart the plague before the necrovirus becomes unstoppable.
CigarAdvisor.com has now secured behind the scenes photos from Operation Smokescreen’s Facebook page, detailing the making of the film:
