Connecticut Wrappers Made in the Shade
In Person Program by
John Cilio
A Cigar wrapper is the tobacco leaf that you see on the outside of the cigar. Makers feel that a wrapper has the potential to impact the subtle flavor notes of a great cigar.
Connecticut started growing tobacco in 1640, eventually producing shade-grown tobacco for wrappers in 1901. Since then, CT farmers have produced some of the finest wrappers in the world. To produce this cash crop, farmers use cheesecloth or nylon netting to help protect the growing leaves from the sun's rays and damaging winds.
Learn some of the histories of tobacco, cigars and Connecticut shade-grown wrappers with us.

A Journey to Mount Everest In Search of Snow Leopards & Adventure
In person presentation by
Dr. Richard Benfield,
Retired Chair of the CCSU Geography Dept and a Snow Leopard researcher
The Himalayan Snow Leopard is the most mysterious, most enigmatic and the most poorly understood of all the large cats. Inhabiting mountain terrain above 15,000, the Snow Leopard is rearely seen and rarely photographed. Only three individuals in the world today study the cat full time. As a result, conservation agencies, Panthera and The Snow Leopard Trust amongst them, rely on citizen scientists to do basic research to add to the body of knowledge on this elusive cat.
Join us as we view a series of trips into the Himalayas and the mountains of Central Asia most recently to Everest base camp in search of the cat with Dr Richard Benfield.
