From the
harvest to the final processing of the product, there are several stages until
it gets to the market, which are: – after harvesting the leaves, they are
matured and moisturized. The tobacco leaves are taken off the stems and
classified to be transported to the factories. There, the tobacco is aged over
a period of three years so that its features are remarkable – taste and aroma. After
these processes, the leaves are mechanically shredded and, afterward, they
receive essences for more taste to the cigarette. In this manipulation, the
operation is more agile by using the Rotating Clamps SAUR.
