The invention discloses a method for treating cigar tobacco leaves, which comprises the following steps of: performing flexible
moisture regaining treatment on the cigar tobacco leaves, controlling the vacuum degree of the flexible
moisture regaining treatment to be-0.08 to-0.09 MPa, the time of the flexible
moisture regaining treatment to be 20-25 minutes or 25-30 minutes, and the temperature of the flexible moisture regaining treatment to be 58-59 DEG C, 59-60 DEG C, 60-61 DEG C, 61-62 DEG C or 62-65 DEG C, so as to obtain a flexible moisture regaining product; carrying out stacking
fermentation treatment on the flexible moisture regaining product to obtain a stacking
fermentation product; the stacking
fermentation product is subjected to enhanced moisture regaining treatment, the vacuum degree of the enhanced moisture regaining treatment is controlled to be-0.09 Mpa to-0.095 Mpa, the time of the enhanced moisture regaining treatment is 40-50 min or 50-60 min, the temperature of the enhanced moisture regaining treatment is 70-75 DEG C, 75-76 DEG C, 76-77 DEG C, 77-78 DEG C, 78-79 DEG C or 79-80 DEG C, an enhanced moisture regaining product is obtained, the mould content of the enhanced moisture regaining product is smaller than 10 CFU / g, and the mould content of the enhanced moisture regaining product is smaller than 10 CFU / g. The
retention rate of
flavor substances of the enhanced moisture regaining product is greater than 80%, and the
flavor substances comprise
phenethyl alcohol and / or
dihydroactinidiolide. The purposes of bacterium conservation, fermentation promotion, sterilization and
mildew control are achieved.
