Barrel-type fermentation method for cigar tobacco leaves

Abstract

The invention discloses a barrel-type fermentation method for cigar tobacco leaves. The barrel-type fermentation method includes the steps of performing processes of tobacco leave moistening and moisture regaining on raw tobacco leaves, accommodating the tobacco leaves obtained from the processes of tobacco leave moistening and moisture regaining in a wooden barrel and placing the wooden barrel into a fermentation chamber, fermenting for a 20-40 days. The cigar tobacco leaves fermented by the method are remarkably low in nicotine, intrinsic irritation of the tobacco leaves is improved, and intrinsic bitter taste of the tobacco leaves is eliminated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fermentation method of cigar leaves, in particular to a barrel fermentation method of cigar leaves. Background technique [0002] Cigars refer to tobacco products that use air-dried tobacco and its regenerated sheets as outer wrappers, and use air-dried tobacco leaves with cigar aroma as the main material of the cigarette core, and the smoke has a significant cigar aroma. The structure of the existing cigar products is core leaf, inner foreskin and outer foreskin successively from inside to outside. Generally, one tobacco plant can produce three types of tobacco leaves: core leaf, inner foreskin and outer foreskin, that is, the top leaf is used as the core leaf, and the middle and lower leaves are used as the foreskin leaf, but usually only one kind of tobacco leaf is more dominant. These three types of tobacco leaves have the basic characteristics of dark air-cured tobacco, but each type has its special requirements for env...
