Connecticut shade tobacco

Connecticut shade tobacco is a tobacco grown under shade in the Connecticut River valley of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and southern Vermont. It is used primarily for binder and wrapper for premium cigars, and is prized for its color and quality, its subtle sweetness and refined flavor. By 2025, only 35 acres of Connecticut shade tobacco were grown, all of it on one farm in Massachusetts. Other growers have either left the industry or switched to Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco.
