The invention discloses a hametz used for fermenting tobacco and applications thereof. The hametz is characterized by comprising three strains of Bacillus subtilis, lactobacillus and microzyme, the viable count ratio of which is 10 to 50: 2 to 30: 2 to 30. The hametz can ferment waste material of the tobacco or the flavor used for producing natural cigarettes by using the tobacco and can be used for tobacco fermentation. The flavor used for the natural cigarettes prepared by the hametz has a velvet fragrance and can remarkably increase the fragrance, reduce the unpurified gas and reduce the thrill as well when the flavor is used in the cigarettes, thus leading the smoke gas to be lingering and smooth. The hametz used for fermenting tobacco leaves can remarkably shorten the alcoholizing time and improve the quality of the tobacco leaves.
