The explanation these leaves are grown in the shade is to keep their surface smoother and stop the veins from becoming too huge. Leaves grown straight in the sun, in fact, are made to become proofed against the heat and grow thick with more veins. In opposition to Shade Grown wrappers, tobacco grown in direct daylight, called Sun Grown, produces a thick, dark wrapper.  The Trinidad Cigars use a prime Ecuadorian Sumatran sun-grown wrapper.  If grown properly, Sun Grown wrappers will have more sweetness.
