In many growing areas (Cuba, Honduras, Nicaragua, etc.), filler varieties like Corojo and Habano are grown under shade for wrapper, and in full sun for filler. In one of rainmax' Cuba videos, a guide at the Robaina plantation states that their Robaina cigars are entirely Corojo 99, with the wrapper grown under shade.
There are many variants of CT Shade. All of them perform well under shade, and rather poorly in full sun. When FL Sumatra wrapper was commercially grown in Florida (prior to the collapse of the industry there), it was grown under shade cloth.
My guess is that some varieties will reach impressive heights under shade (certainly the CT Shade varieties do that), and require wire supports from the shade structure for each plant, whereas others, like Corojo 99 may not grow so tall, and may not need additional support.
Wrapper grown in the cloud forest regions of Ecuador are not grown under shade cloth, and do not have supplemental supports, even though the constant cloud and mist reduces solar penetration in a manner similar to shade cloth. I'm not sure about supports for Ecuador Sumatra wrapper and Ecuador CT Shade wrapper.
I would suggest setting up a "small" test canopy this year, just to see what you get. Having to install wire supports for each plant is a massive undertaking for a large grow.
