Editing Cigar Mining Facility (section)

==Attack by Mark Hugerinus Paap and 2022 shutdown==

In 2022, [[Mark Hugerinus Paap]] and Fish Collective-linked operatives carried out a sabotage action against the Cigar Mining Facility. The attack targeted transport access, internal communications, production records, and sections of the processing and storage areas.

The action disrupted movement into the facility and forced a temporary shutdown. Cigar production, gold box fabrication, and internal transfers were suspended while Bau-Einsatz officers and security personnel reviewed the site's access controls.

The shutdown affected the leadership supply chain because finished cigars and presentation boxes could not be moved through normal channels. After the attack, the regime increased guard strength, restricted worker movement, expanded identity checks, and placed the facility under closer surveillance.

Operations later resumed on a reduced basis. The facility remained under tighter security until the final collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen in November 2024.
