FERMENTING TOBACCO
-
The weight of the stacked leaves, combined with the heat and humidity, ferments the tobacco and releases impurities
-
Water is sprayed on the tobacco leaves to maintain proper fermentation temperatures
-
This 'sweating' removes oils, sap, ammonia, tar and nicotine from the leaves
-
The stacks are rotated to ensure a consistency of fermentation and to avoid composting
