Category 03

The Toasted Tobacco

A controlled toasting process that reduces ammonia, smooths harsh notes and builds a rich, rounded flavour profile for premium blends.

Toasting Process

  1. 01

    Preparation & Conditioning

    Tobacco is conditioned to the ideal moisture and temperature for even toasting.

  2. 02

    Casing Infusion

    Flavour casings (cocoa, nutty, fruity) are applied precisely through a controlled spray.

  3. 03

    Precision Toasting

    Tobacco passes through multi-zone chambers that optimise temperature and airflow to reduce ammonia and enhance flavour.

Advantages of Toasted Tobacco

  • Richer, rounder taste with controlled nicotine
  • Lower ammonia and smoother smoke delivery
  • Enhanced flavour retention over time
  • Improved combustibility and blend compatibility
