At Kikez Agroline, we are passionate about producing the finest air-cured tobacco leaves through natural, time-honored methods. Located in the heart of Uganda, Africa, our farm is dedicated to growing high-quality tobacco that meets the demands of both local and international markets.
What is Air-Cured Tobacco?
Air-curing is a traditional method of drying tobacco leaves by hanging them in well-ventilated barns for several weeks. Unlike flue-curing, which uses artificial heat, air curing relies solely on natural air circulation. This slow drying process allows the leaves to mature gradually, transforming from green to a rich golden brown. This method is known for preserving the natural flavors and aroma of the tobacco, making it a preferred choice for many tobacco products.
The Process
At Kikez Agroline, the air-curing process begins with the careful harvesting of tobacco leaves at peak maturity. The leaves are then hung in barns where they are exposed to natural air circulation for 4-8 weeks. During this period, our team closely monitors temperature and humidity levels to ensure the best conditions for drying. The result is a leaf that maintains its rich flavors and smoothness, making it perfect for a variety of uses.
Benefits of Air-Cured Tobacco
