You’re correct, the tobacco farms running along the Connecticut river Valley between Deerfield, MA and Windsor, CT produce what is considered the finest tobacco leaves in the world for rolling premium cigars. Many premium Cuban cigars are rolled in leaves from that river valley corridor. A couple of my friends and I spent a summer during high school working on one of those farms, very hard and nasty work, but it put drinking $$$ in our pockets.
