Regardless of how one regards the human interest story here, it nonetheless revolves around the activities of a tobacco plantation in Connecticut where they specialize in a certain kind of "shade grown" leaf that is still in demand for making the outer wrapper of premium cigars ultimately produced in the Caribbean islands, such as Macanudo. I just happened to recall seeing this movie on TV and recommended it during a casual discussion with some fellow connoisseurs of fine tobacco and then later decided to browse the web on this subject. Now I have little or nothing to add to other comments made about the quality of the film, except to say that I would not mind experiencing it again sometime.
