Connecticut

Connecticut wrappers branch out into two categories: Connecticut (or Connecticut Shade) and Ecuadorian Connecticut. Authentic Connecticut Shade grown wrappers come from Connecticut, USA and Ecuadorian Connecticut, grown in Ecuador, tends to be sweeter than US-grown Connecticut Shade. In addition, you may hear Connecticut wrappers being referred to as “EMS” or English Market Selection, this was a quality designation for Cuban cigars sold in the UK market, rarely heard in the United States.
