TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cigar quality inspection, and particularly relates to a cigar smoking device based on ash color recognition. BACKGROUND
[0002] Good combustibility is the basis of high-quality cigars and an important indicator of the sensory quality of cigars. If a cigar appears black ash after being lit, it will greatly reduce the experience and grade of the cigar. Cigars with good combustibility have high aroma quality and aroma volume, less offensive odor, mellow taste and clean and comfortable aftertaste, and the ash is white. Cigar combustibility is closely related to ash color. Ash from cigars with good combustibility is light gray, while ash from cigars with poor combustibility is dark gray. Therefore, ash color can be used to measure the combustibility of cigars and further determine the sensory quality of cigars, providing a new and convenient way to judge the quality of cigars.
[0003] Currently, the main method for evaluating the ash color of cigar leaves is subjective scoring. The black and white levels of ash are evaluated subjectively using human experience, for example, ash that is gray or gray-black is scored 2 points, ash that is darker gray is scored 4 points, and ash that is white gray is scored 6 points. Due to differences in experience and experience, the degree and method of smoking are different, and the evaluation of ash color is also different, so this method has a large error in evaluating ash. In addition, cigars have a strong kick. A person usually smokes 10-15 cigars per day to evaluate cigars, and it is easy to have an excessive smoking reaction, causing dizziness, nausea and other adverse symptoms, which affects the evaluation efficiency of cigar ash. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, scientific and effective smoking device to identify the ash color of cigars and further evaluate the sensory quality of cigar leaves. SUMMARY
