1 raw materials:

Main raw materials: 500g of tobacco leaves, 50g of liquor150g, 0g of honey100g, 50g of malt powder.

Accessories: kitchen knife, sealable glass bottle, wok, soybean, etc.

Two steps:

(1) Selection of tobacco leaves: No matter how special the flavors and fragrances are, they only play an auxiliary role. The real fragrance of cigarettes comes from the tobacco leaves themselves, and the fragrance and quality of tobacco leaves are the soul of cigarettes. All the subsequent processes are just to maximize the flavor of tobacco leaves. Therefore, selecting good tobacco leaves is the key to self-made cut tobacco.

(2) Shredding tobacco leaves: firstly, wet the tobacco leaves, so as not to be crushed during shredding, the tobacco leaves can be cut into thin strips. The way of wetting is also very simple. The weather is wet, and the tobacco leaves will naturally wet the next morning; Another method I have tried is to spread the tobacco leaves on the newspaper, take them to the bathroom, turn on the water heater and let the mist of hot water wet the tobacco leaves. This method is very fast. Under normal circumstances, if a catty of tobacco leaves is finely cut, it can be made into a hand cigarette, which can be cut in ten minutes, and it is even faster if it is a pipe cigarette. Cutting cigarettes is like cutting vegetables, just a chopping board.

(3) Aroma enhancement and stirring: honey and wine are mixed and put into a watering can; Sprinkle malt powder on tobacco shreds and stir; Spray honey and white wine evenly on tobacco shreds and stir. Here, the choice of liquor is according to your own taste. Wuliangye can be used for Luzhou-flavor and Maotai can be used for Maotai-flavor. In fact, Erguotou tastes good and economical.

(4) Stir-fry shredded tobacco: After spraying wine and honey on shredded tobacco, stir-fry soybeans and shredded tobacco at the same time (don't be too hasty). Stop when the golden cut tobacco turns dark yellow and close to red! It may be broken at this time (you can try the microwave oven, I haven't tried it, but it may not be broken if you use the microwave oven, which is better). Sift it with a sieve, ok!

(5) Bottle fermentation: put the fried tobacco into a glass bottle, seal it, and then open it one month later. It smells fragrant and tastes positive, which is better than any kind of cut tobacco on the market. Mainly environmental protection and safety. Respond to chairman Mao's call: do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing, and feel cool!

(6) Collection and enjoyment: Make your own cigarettes and pipes, and smoke whatever you want, but don't chew.

Second,

1 cut tobacco refers to tobacco products that are cut into filaments, granules, flakes, powders or other shapes, then added with auxiliary materials, fermented and stored, and can be sold and smoked without rolling. There are many ways to use cut tobacco, such as pipe tobacco, Mohe tobacco, tobacco powder, hookah, yellow and red cut tobacco and so on. , can be directly rolled into any shape with cigarette paper, can also be rolled into a cigarette shape with a special cigarette device, and more importantly, it can be used in conjunction with smoking appliances such as pipes. Cut tobacco is processed from tobacco leaves, and the taste of tobacco varies greatly according to different producing areas. The cut tobacco of real cigarettes is mainly made of cut tobacco, cut stems and tobacco flakes.

2 classification

Dried tobacco shreds

The Yellow River basin also claims to turn tobacco leaves into cut tobacco, that is, tobacco plants planted in fields (not paddy fields). After picking, put it in the corner to dry in the shade, and then the big leaves can be crushed and rolled up with cigarette paper for smoking. This kind of cut tobacco (that is, broken tobacco leaves) is also called dry tobacco in Northeast China. Water cut tobacco: linear. A hookah cannot be called a hookah just because it has been washed. The water here refers to hookah, and the water cut tobacco is the cut tobacco that can be sucked on it, which is generally filamentous and can be kneaded into a ball. Everyone can smoke on the hookah, but dry tobacco in the north, because it is broken tobacco leaves, is not easy to form a ball on the hookah, but it is easy to fall into the hookah. Because hookahs are the most famous in southern Yunnan, most of them are sold privately in Yunnan market. The most famous hookah belongs to the Tropic of Cancer in southern Yunnan, where the cut tobacco (or tobacco leaf) used in the Red River with the best quality of cloud smoke is produced.

Hand-rolled tobacco

Hand-rolled tobacco is more segmented than water-cut tobacco. Most of our cigarettes are 0.5cm. Hand-made cigarettes are longer, but much shorter than water-cut cigarettes.

Cigarettes (China)

Many people don't know that cigars are also produced in China, just as many people don't know about Chinese-made coffee (I won't go into details here). Several cigarette factories in China also produce cigars. Take Yunnan cigars as an example. Cigar filaments are the same as our ordinary cigarettes, except that the color of cigar filaments is darker than that of cigarettes, which is brownish red.

Standard cut tobacco

The standard cut tobacco of middle and high-grade cigarettes is golden yellow or lemon yellow; The mixed color is orange. Good gloss and oiliness. Cut tobacco contains less broken powder and less tobacco stems. The width and length of cut tobacco are moderate and uniform, and the structure is compact. After the cigarette is lit, it smolders well and will not go out. Gray is gray and round, and generally does not fall off.

The cut tobacco of counterfeit brand cigarettes generally uses the leftovers of genuine cigarettes or uses untreated inferior cut tobacco. The color is dark and bluish brown. There are many stems and broken powder. Some cut tobacco is dyed to show irregular advertising red, or red at the corners of cut tobacco, or yellow with white. After the cigarette is lit, smoldering is easy to go out, and the ash is mostly black and gray. When burning, the ash explodes outward and is easy to scatter.

Expanded cut tobacco

Expanded cut tobacco is cut tobacco treated by expansion technology, including expanded cut tobacco and expanded cut tobacco. The cut tobacco treated by expansion technology can improve the filling value of cut tobacco, reduce the consumption of raw materials for cigarettes and reduce the tar content of cigarettes. Expanded cut tobacco is widely used, and the expanded cut tobacco for famous cigarettes has the characteristics of good oiliness, high gloss, softness and looseness, and large and thin slices.

The production of counterfeit brand cigarettes is limited by equipment and technical conditions, and generally expanded cut tobacco is not used. To identify whether the cut tobacco contains expanded cut tobacco, the cut tobacco can be soaked in acetone solution, and the cut tobacco floating on the liquid surface is the expanded cut tobacco.

Tobacco sheet

Tobacco flake is a kind of paper-like tobacco product which is recombined from tobacco powder and tobacco stems through a certain technological process. At present, in China, tobacco flakes are cut into shreds and filled in tobacco shreds, which are mostly used in real low-grade cigarette products.
