Barn Management for Curing Connecticut Broadleaf Cigar Wrapper Tobacco
AGR-269: Barn Management for Curing Connecticut Broadleaf Cigar Wrapper Tobacco
Authored by: Andy Bailey
Abstract
Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco is used primarily for cigar wrapper and binder and was traditionally grown in Connecticut and Massachusetts but has also been grown in Pennsylvania. In recent years, these areas have not been able to supply leaf buyers with enough wrapper leaf to meet the increasing demand for natural leaf cigar wrapper. Therefore, growers in Tennessee and Kentucky have been producing Connecticut Broadleaf to market as cigar wrapper tobacco.
