CT Tobacco Fields

[caudio51]

Does anyone have any aerial or regular pictures of them. Also where they are located. When I am up that way I'd like to get a glance.

[derek]

Most of the fields are located in Granby, Enfield and Windsor

Ludy / Taylor CT Valley Tabacco Mueseum (http://www.tobaccohistsoc.org/)

local shop (http://www.cvtobacco.com/contact_us.html) you can get some hand rolled CT's at. I have never been there, think I may go soon tho

I'm sure if I search I can find more info.

[caudio51]

Have you ever been there Derek?

[derek]

I have never been to the 2 above places, However, I pass the fields often. I used to have a friend that lived across from them.

[DocLogic77]

Forgive my ignorance but what are CT fields?

[caudio51]

Connecticut in the United States.

Sorry I had to laugh at that one :hysterica

*carry on*

[DocLogic77]

I appreciate it. Believe it or not I never have heard those wrappers being spoken of as CT. Sorry, if it was a dumb question.

Anyone picking on a fellow Steelers fan is going to get a beat down from me!!!!

[cvm4]

[DocLogic77]

CVM it's cool. It was a stupid question. I'll mark that up to one of my beer posts. :thumbsup:

We been having a lot of brush fires due to the dry conditions. Last night in Simsbury, another town with fields, there was a large brush fire that destoryed several acres of tabacco fields. It also burned a barn down and they had to work very hard to save two others before they caught on fire. Of course it was all cigar tabacco, what a shame...

[caudio51]

damn, it has been very dry here lately too.

Guess prices will go up

[derek]

I doubt this will affect prices, 3 or 5 acres burned, when there is 1000's of it up here.

If you take 91n, to rte 20 in Granby, which is the back side of bradly airport you see hundres of fields on both side of rte 20 and ton of barns. Its pretty cool.

[caudio51]

Ah, I didn't know there was that much field up there.

Anyone picking on a fellow Steelers fan is going to get a beat down from me!!!!P-p-p-please don't hurt me. :crytears: :innocent:
