American Tobacco?

I think there's a brand from Michigan that says they grow their own Tobacco in MI. I don't live there anymore, so I can't remember.

You're in luck. Iirc Pete Johnson's La Casita Criolla is an American puro. Also, there's bunches of cigars with PA Broadleaf as a wrapper.

The more complete answer to you question is that well over 90% of America's production goes to cigarettes, pipes, and chew.

+1. Try the Tatuaje La Casita Criolla. It is an awesome smoke and 100% American since it contains Connecticut Broadleaf.

agree as well. that is a damn fine smoke right there.

there are a few wrappers and binders that come from the good ol' US of A. Connecticut shade Broadleaf is very popular in the cigar world. PA broadleaf is showing up more and more. Patel brothers features it and a few of AJ Fernandez's blends have it as a wrapper.

PA broadleaf also shows up as a filler in the LHC CORE.

Kentucky has a few companies that make some had rolled cigars. I think most American tobacco is grown for the cigarette, machine-made cigar and snuff/chew industry.

Don't forget our good ol pipe tobacco. Virginias, Burley, and Perique

are all grown in various locations nation wide.

Mistake noted. Pipe tobacco as well. Basically, less whole leaf product, more chopped/cut/processed products.
