I'd bet its just the cool temps. I have a unknown super dwarf cav.(unknown because it originated from Jamaica and fruits well in poor soil and reliably) that is doing the same thing, and it was very lush and green before some bouts of cold weather in the upper 30s., and low 40s. I know the soil is rich and full of the right minerals( I test soil, and if needed even leaf material for deficiencies)for lush green growth, so I know it's not that. Also, my other more cold sensitive varieties are acting similar such as Rose, and Pitupi. The only difference is that Rose and Pitupi show more spots and stuff on the leaves before yellowing, while the super dwarf tends to yellow more quickly, without the spots, or at least very few in comparison. One way I know at least with mine, is the arrival of a new green cigar leaf, since during this time of year our temps can fluctuate quite a bit. We could get down to upper 30s, and then two days later be in the 80s, so growth is always there during our winters.
