Delve into the surprising history of the region’s most iconic crop, all the way back to early indigenous uses and the boom of the Civil War. Though fashionable in the 1950s, the popularity of cigars declined a decade later, nearly destroying the region’s tobacco industry. A resurgence in the 1990s brought new life to the crop, and the reopening of Cuba in 2015 added a new chapter for cigar tobacco. Presented by Brianna Dunlap, Former Director of the CT Valley Tobacco Museum.
