    John excellent video. I live in CT and until just recently worked at Bradley International Airport and a premium cigar smoker for over 40 years, it breaks my heart to see the continual disappearance of the acres and acres of shade tobacco fields over the last 20 years. Not only the shade tobacco but cigar tobacco in general is seeing fewer and fewer fields every year. Maybe I'm just a nostalgic old coot but the whole character of the area has changed.

      Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment. Sadly, this is a trend that will only get worse as the years go by.

    I live in Enfield and I live down the street from Jarmok farms. Down Broad Brook rd. It’s not the same now there’s solar farms where there used to be endless fields of tobacco.

    Wouldn't Habano fall into the same category?

    That's sad that there isn't much tabacoo being grown in the Connecticut River Valley anymore. Are there still mass produced cigars that still use the american grown leaf from Connecticut?

      Hi Chris -there are some premium cigars using genuine US-grown Connecticut shade - some of the Macanudo lines use it, as does Charter Oak CT from Foundation Cigar (though there are more). As I mentioned, CT Shade is expensive - which is one of the reasons, aside from taste, why some manufacturers have moved to Ecuador; it's cheaper. Most machine made cigars/mass market stuff don't use Connecticut Shade, as there are more cost-effective tobacco option for those manufacturers. Hope this helped!

      @@johnpullo4899 Must be why I love charter oak and I have been smoking a lot of Macanudo cigars lately. Will have to pay more attention on where the Connecticut wrapper is from.
      I have been smoking a little over a year. Only had one machine rolled. Once I started smoking premium hand rolled never looked back. Thanks for the information.
