Tasteless Connecticut wrappers?

Bob already covered this, I just wanted to add that Connecticut shade wrappers are actually grown in the shade, thus the name. They stretch acres of shade fabric over the fields so the tobacco plants don't become as strong flavored as those grown in the direct sun.
The process also allows for the tobacco to be very light colored once it's cured.
