About Tobacco

Tobacco, scientifically known as Nicotiana tabacum L., is a plant in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). Originally discovered by Indigenous peoples in North and South America, tobacco later became an important cash crop cultivated worldwide.

In Thailand, tobacco is cultivated from the upper to the lower northern regions, as well as in certain areas of the northeastern region, requiring a warm climate and fertile, well-drained soil.

Tobacco Curing Methods

The curing method varies depending on the type of tobacco grown, and each method produces tobacco with distinct characteristics:

Air-cured Tobacco

Air-cured

Hung in well-ventilated barns for 4-8 weeks. Results in low sugar, mild sweet flavor with high nicotine content.

Flue-cured Tobacco

Flue-cured

Heat-cured without direct smoke contact. Takes about one week, producing high sugar content tobacco for cigarettes.
