The invention provides a method for fermenting a Baimao tobacco (an important raw material for cigar), which comprises the following steps: uniformly spraying aqueous solution of distiller's yeast enzyme prepared by adding a distiller's yeast enzyme into water and stirring onto tobacco leaves; rolling the tobacco leaves into spiral wisps, piling the wisps, tightly covering the piles to ferment at normal temperature, turning the piles for once when the temperature in the piles reaches 45 to 55 DEG C, and piling for 2 to 3 days; after tying the tobacco leaves into big bundles, piling the tobacco leaves, fermenting the tobacco leaves for 6 to 7 days, and turning the piles for once again when the temperature in the piles reaches 45 to 55 DEG C; and after tying the tobacco leaves into bundles according to parts, quality and length, piling the tobacco leaves, fermenting the tobacco leaves for 15 to 20 days, and turning the piles for once every 7 to 10 days, wherein the times for turning the piles is two, and when the moisture in the tobacco leaves reaches 18 to 22 percent, completing the fermentation. The method for fermenting the Baimao tobacco of the invention can increase the fragrance of the tobacco leaves, reduce the acrimony of the tobacco leaves and bring comfortable aftertaste, and has the advantages of readily available raw material, low cost, wide resources, high safety, simple operation and low cost of the obtained Baimao tobacco.
