The invention discloses a method for accurately identifying flue-cured tobacco flavor types. According to the invention, a smoking and evaluating group is organized, wherein the members in the group are good at sensing the scents of flue-cured tobaccos; 8 characteristic scent components are evaluated and quantified with a blind-review method, wherein the 8 scents are tobacco scent, fragrant scent, sweet scent, fruit scent, flower scent, spicy scent, wood scent, and coke scent; scent score data is adopted as a basis, and a flavor style characteristic profile diagram is drawn; with the profile diagram as a basis, flue-cured tobacco scent area index S is obtained with a calculation formula S=1/2*sinC*a*b, wherein a and b are two adjacent flavor style characteristic values, and C is an included angle of a and b. If S is smaller than 25.0, the flue-cured tobacco is strong-flavored flue-cured tobacco. If S is 26.0-30.0, the flue-cured tobacco is middle-flavored flue-cured tobacco. If S is greater than 30.0, the flue-cured tobacco is light-flavored flue-cured tobacco. The flue-cured tobacco flavor type identifying method provided by the invention is practicable, accurate, convenient, and visual.
