Ct Broadleaft Crop Report

2013 is the best crop in years. The early rain during planting, record  90 degree temperatures with hot humid nights . All these weather conditions have everything to do with a great cigar wrapper.  If it rains everyday the leaves are thin and fall apart. Without enough  rain the tobacco leaves do not have the correct color, bad aroma, and will not burn properly on cigars. With no real damage to the valley broadleaf during our weekly thunder storms.With all the cultivating and fertilizer completed our next photos will be the broadleaf flowering.  Early 2013 looks to be a banner cigar wrapper year!!!
