POINT 7

Drying equipment

Smoke hardening method Tobacco is mainly glued to cigarette sticks hanging in stables to dry, but in these stables, the heat generated by the flow of smoke from an externally fired fire box without exposing the cigarette to smoke is dried. During the drying process, the temperature is raised slowly. This process typically takes about one week.

This method can produce medium to high nicotine cigars with a high sugar content and is incorporated into smoke-dried cigarettes to make them softer and easier to breathe.

* We are operating drying processes with Termoplin (Serbia) and Decloet (Italy) drying machines in our factory
