About Flue Cured Tobacco

Curing is a process by which the harvested tobacco leaf is made ready for the market.
It is a well standardized process especially in FCV tobacco to achieve the desirable qualities in the cured leaf along with the removal of moisture.
There are three types of tobacco curing methods traditionally used: Air–Cured, Fire-Cured, and Flue-Cured.
Each of the different curing methods results in a tobacco product that is distinguishable by both its nicotine content and its aroma.

Why is Tobacco cured?

To create smoking tobacco, the tobacco leaves need to be cured, or dried out.
The wet, green tobacco leaves of a tobacco plant initially contain too much moisture to catch fire.
They also have higher chlorophyll content. By releasing a certain amount of chlorophyll from the leaves during the drying out process, the natural tannins come out giving the smoked tobacco its flavor and scent.
