Cigar Weekly

I was driving to a relatives house in the Conneticut River Valley where CT wrapper is grown and decided to snap a couple shots of the curring barns. They are all over the place in the area although most are not used for tobacco any longer. The barns are pretty impressive its hard to tell from the pics but the boards on the sides are all hinged so that you can open them for ventialtion. The propane tanks you see along side the barns are to run the burners that heat the barns during the curring. I am working on getting a tour of General Cigars operation and will try to get more pics the card on my camera was full today so I didn't get as many as I wanted.
