Tobacco Manufacturing

Tobacco manufacturing is an age old practice dating from as long ago as the 7th century AD in the Americas. Naturally the whole process starts with cultivation, the plants mature at about two months and is then harvested and dried in tobacco barns. When the tobacco is at the appropriate moisture content level they are tied in bundles to start the fermentation process. Fermentation serves to allow reduction in ammonia and excess nicotine levels.

Tobacco manufacturing has come a long way since then and as with most manufacturing processes it has evolved ever since. Tobacco manufacturing serves a number of industries producing products including but not limited to cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff. One of the industries that contributed a great deal to the extent to which tobacco manufacturing has been refined is the cigar manufacturing industry. With cigar manufacturing certain elements of tobacco manufacturing are given great care, tobacco curing and fermentation contributes a great deal to the flavour of the final product. Ageing is the final process before tobacco is utilised in the production of consumer products and can take between a few months up to a number of years depending on the desired flavour. All cigars albeit hand rolled or machine made consist of three parts namely the filler the binder and the wrapper. The filler is the strands of tobacco in the center of the cigar, which is then bunched together with the binder and ultimately enclosed with the wrapper in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
