Connecticut Wrappers have such an extensive history in the world of tobacco and cigar making. It dates all the way back to the mid-1600s when settlers arrived in Connecticut. They began expanding tobacco crops in Windsor and by 1633 it was being grown strictly for profit which led to exporting tobacco over to Europe by 1700.

Before the “Bay of Pigs” in 1963, Cubans declared that the best cigar in the world was considered a cigar that contained a Cuban binder and filler, that was cloaked in a gorgeous golden-looking Connecticut shade wrapper. So Connecticut-style wrapped cigars have been widely loved over the last 500 years and for good reason!
