[0036]

[0037] Please note that in this disclosure, only six indicators are involved, namely, oiliness, glossiness, leaf structure, softness, green content, and variegated color. If necessary, it can be expanded to 10 indicators, such as color depth, color preservation, maturity, and identity. When selecting appearance quality, it is necessary to clarify the degree of correlation between appearance quality factors and the intrinsic needs of cigarettes, and flexibly select appearance factors.

[0038] Based on the above standards, a standard sample can be made for staff to refer to in order to select tobacco leaves that meet the standards.

[0039] Sample preparation method: Personnel requirements: The sample preparation is mainly participated by industrial tobacco leaf quality inspectors, and the tobacco leaf quality master and grader are responsible for selecting the sample raw materials. It is required to use tobacco leaves at the beginning of the year, with moisture controlled at 16%~18%. The main grade quality is clearly prominent and includes the upper and lower limits of the grade. The corresponding purity tolerance can be reflected, and the quality factors closely related to the position, color and overall quality are relatively consistent. It is required that the number of leaves of each grade is not less than 50, and the leaves must reflect the main grade, and at the same time reflect the upper and lower limits and inclusiveness of the grade.

[0040] In step 130, the tobacco leaf raw materials after industrial sorting are combined and assembled.

[0041] In some embodiments, when a middle grade of tobacco leaves is combined as a separate grade, the proportion of lower tobacco leaves in the combination should be less than 5%, and the proportion of upper tobacco leaves in the combination should be less than 15%.

[0042] In some embodiments, when the second-grade middle tobacco leaves are grouped as a separate grade, the proportion of the lower tobacco leaves in the group should be less than 10%, and the proportion of the upper tobacco leaves in the group should be less than 20%.

[0043] In some embodiments, when an upper grade of tobacco leaves is combined as a separate grade, the lower grade of tobacco leaves should not be combined, and the proportion of the middle grade of tobacco leaves combined should be less than 10%.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the upper tobacco leaves of the second grade are combined as a separate grade, the lower tobacco leaves should not be combined, and the proportion of the middle tobacco leaves combined should be less than 15%.

[0045] In step 140, the assembled tobacco leaf raw material combination is threshed and redried to obtain a finished tobacco leaf module, thereby completing the production of the tobacco leaf module.
