　　The "light-aroma" flue-cured tobacco from Tianzhu County was evaluated and tasted by the National Tobacco Industry Standardization Quality Inspection Center Station in 1983, and was ranked among the top three "light-aroma" tobacco varieties in China together with Yuxi tobacco from Yunnan and Yongding tobacco from Fujian, and was placed at the top of the three. In August 2007, it was re-evaluated by provincial tobacco experts through tasting, confirming that Tianzhu County's "light-aroma" tobacco leaves have distinctive characteristics and excellent quality and aroma. In 2009, the purchase volume of Tianzhu County’s "light-aroma" specialty tobacco leaves reached 40,056 dan, nearly doubling compared to 2008.
