　　Product Introduction: Xinchang Spice Tobacco is an emerging high-quality specialty product. Introduced from Turkey in 1951, it was successfully trial-planted in Hehuatang Village and gradually replaced the original sun-cured yellow tobacco. Its planting area has expanded year by year, making it the leading county in China for spice tobacco production. The tobacco leaves are glossy and fresh, fine and oily, with a pure and comfortable taste, strong combustibility, low ash content, and rich aroma, making it an important ingredient in premium blended cigarettes. Tests show that the tobacco leaves contain 14.50% total sugar, 14.02% protein, 2.62% total nitrogen, 2.16% nicotine, and 1.03% Schmook value, exhibiting the typical characteristics of spice tobacco. As a result, it is hailed as the "Oriental Premium Tobacco."

　　Product History: Xinchang Spice Tobacco was introduced from Turkey in 1951 and successfully trial-planted in Hehuatang Village, Chengnan Township. The same year, standardized purchasing was established, making it the earliest in the country. It has a history of over 50 years. The annual output is around 20,000 dan. After the establishment of the Xinchang County Tobacco Company in 1986, developing spice tobacco became a key mission. By building a production, purchasing, and sales system, improving the technical service network, strengthening scientific research, and promoting new technologies and achievements, the quality of spice tobacco has continuously improved. In 1988, it was designated as a national spice tobacco production base county. Spice tobacco production is a traditional backbone industry in the mountainous rural areas of our county.
