General Consensus and Cigars and Pipes

[LIPIPE]

Don't know the answer to your question for certain. I do know that much cigar leaf is grown from Cuban seed however really true that is and what impact upon the taste is a horse of a different color. I think it is all alot of marketing hype. I've smoked some really good cigars with Connecticut leaf wrappers and I doubt the climate in Connecticut is appropriate for tobacco growth so I really cannot give a reply to that either. Any way, I'm half way through a great smoke wherever it came from.

I can assure you, it's been grown here in the Nutmeg State since the Mohegans and Pequots were the majority population. Tobacco is pretty versatile for growing climates and conditions. If you ever drive to the airport outside of Hartford, you can see the fields, though they don't look like much as "shade grown" leaves are mostly covered by big net tents.

Thanks for the info Doc. Hope all the snow we have been getting lately does not affect the next crop. A good cigar is already a budget buster.
