Stepping Into the Shade
A Holiday Viewing Recommendation for Cigar Aficionados
As we head into the holiday season, there’s no better time to explore the stories that shaped the cigar world. One documentary series worth watching is Stepping Into the Shade, an in-depth look at the heritage and culture behind Connecticut Shade tobacco, the iconic wrapper leaf found in some of the world’s finest cigars, including one of Belmaachi’s most popular blends.
Earlier this year, I met June Archer on the red carpet at the Hip Hop Museum Gala, where he mentioned his new docuseries. His interviewing style takes a refreshing approach: he steps back and allows the people, the visuals, and the environment to speak for themselves. The result is a series that is informative, educational, and rich with the history, American culture, community, and spirit behind Connecticut Shade-grown tobacco.
For cigar lovers, historians, and anyone who appreciates the craft and the culture surrounding premium tobacco, this series offers meaningful insight into a world that is rarely captured with such depth and authenticity.
