Growing Connecticut shade tobacco started in 1900. Shade tobacco involves creating large tents to cover the growing tobacco with a synthetic fabric. Under the tents the sunlight is diffused and the air is humid which produces a thinner and lighter tobacco. This tobacco is used primarily for binders and wrappers for premium cigars
