There are many small windows in the tobacco house, some of which are opened and some are closed. This is used to adjust the temperature and humidity in the warehouse at any time. During the processing of tobacco leaves, the temperature in the tobacco room is always controlled at about 23 degrees; the humidity is also strictly controlled at 65% - 75%. All the picked tobacco leaves are hung in the tobacco room in order to remove the moisture in the tobacco leaves and keep the tobacco leaves from drying Until the green turns dark brown.

This is the difference between cigars and cigarettes. They are not dried, but completely dried. This process takes about a month and a half to slowly and evenly remove moisture from tobacco leaves.

Don't underestimate the process. It's very learned. Every two pieces of tobacco are sewn together at the petioles with thread and hung on the drying rack. There is a certain interval between each leaf to prevent the tobacco leaves from touching each other, so as to avoid the phenomenon of water accumulation or mildew. In addition, the spacing between drying racks must be uniform, so as to maintain air circulation, so as to keep the temperature and humidity at a uniform level.

During these weeks of drying, someone must watch here. It is also a very hard process to control the doors and windows to ensure that the tobacco leaves do not become too dry or wet.

When the dehydration of tobacco leaves is completed, the tobacco leaves will be taken to the fermentation room and placed on the wooden platform. After a neat pile is piled up, the fermentation will begin. In this process, the stack of tobacco leaves should be kept moist, so as to ensure that the tobacco leaves will not be damaged. The tobacco leaves should also be turned frequently to ensure that the fermentation of all tobacco leaves can be completed at the same time. At this time, the temperature should be well controlled, and the core temperature of tobacco leaves should be kept at about 35 ℃.

In this process, it is the unique secret of every tobacco maker --- the taste of tobacco is added in this process.

At the end of these two processes, the final step, ripening, is to put the leaves in gunny bags and store them in a room with strict temperature and humidity control, a process that can take years. The aging process of tobacco leaves with different functions is also different.

The most unique thing about this top Cuban cigar is that it's always made from whole leaves. Cigars are made up of eggplant jacket, eggplant cover and eggplant core. The eggplant jacket is the outermost coat of cigar; the eggplant cover is the "underwear" for wrapping the eggplant core; and the eggplant core is the key part of determining the taste of a cigar. Usually, the eggplant core of mass-produced cigars is made up of crushed tobacco leaves, and the most powerful part of Cuban cigars is that the core is folded manually!

Ordinary cigars are made up of three pieces of tobacco, one piece of eggplant coat, one piece of eggplant cover and one piece of eggplant core. The eggplant core of top cigars is usually made of three or more kinds of tobacco leaves, and never use the same batch of tobacco leaves! Moreover, different positions of a tobacco plant have different functions. The knowledge here is really too great.

"Mr. Xiao, do you like our cigars?" Regra asked curiously.

"Of course, I think the biggest highlight is that you use white pepper and cardamom to improve the flavor, but you haven't used the black pepper commonly used by everyone. This kind of collocation is very good." Xiao Peng replied.

"You're a real expert," regra said with a smile

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I'm an expert. A friend of mine once gave me a lot of world famous cigars. I'm used to it when I smoke more."

Dana disdained: "what world famous cigars? Any Cuban cigarette maker has his own secret recipe. When the Cuban economy was in a downturn, many good Cuban cigar technicians chose other industries. It's a pity to see that when xiaoka was in power, he said that" soybeans are as important as cannons. "He vigorously developed the economy and canceled the company I've always wanted my mother to contact her former colleagues to make a handmade cigar brand because of the restrictions on business and travel. "

"That's a good idea. Why not do it?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Dana said: "we have many cigar brands in Cuba, and many of them are of very good quality. However, tourists here only know big brands such as" Cohiba "," Romeo and Juliet "," Montecristo "and" patagas ". The concept of selling Cuban cigars to foreigners and domestic cigars is different. Cigar brands with export channels can make money. Otherwise

Dana's words did not finish, but Xiao Peng suddenly remembered that those smugglers on the ship gave him a bundle of cigars. They bought the bundle themselves and sold it to tourists for less than a dollar? At least a few dollars a piece, that's the gap.

Xiao Peng looked at Garcia and asked, "it's not difficult to find an export channel with your social relations?"

"I can't do this because I'm an official in the Ministry of the interior," Garcia said with a wry smile

Xiao Peng patted sun Pengcheng: "you little boy, what are you still in a daze? Don't you cry for poverty all day? It's time to get rich

Sun Pengcheng a Leng: "Peng brother, what do you mean?"

"Why not? Make cigars. Find someone to set up a foreign trade company, import this cigar and sell it back. It's time to get rich. " Xiao Peng said.

Sun Pengcheng blinked: "can this make a fortune?"

Xiao Peng gave him a look: "you deserve to be poor! Regra, how do you make money by making cigars now

Regra looked at Garcia and Dana. Dana thought for a moment and said, "Mom, just tell Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao should be a rich man. The person who can buy three cars at the pebble beach auction is definitely not a simple person. He won't expose a small business like you for you. "After hearing this, regra said to Xiao Peng: "our own cigars are generally sold to the fake cigarette dealers in Havana. They will repack the cigars and make them into big brand cigars such as" Cohiba "and sell them to tourists. My cigars have the same specifications as Cohiba's" century 6 ", so they are better to sell. Most cigarette makers do this. There is another kind of market, which is to sell to regular cigar factories, which are sold in foreign countries outside the label. However, the recycling price of cigar factories is too low, so we generally do not do this. "

There are numerous types of cigars, and the sizes of cigars vary from country to country. There are 69 sizes of Cuban cigars alone, of which 42 are hand-made ones. Each size has a specific name. There are now 11 sizes for Cohiba and Montecristo, and 40 for patagas.

Xiao Peng nodded: "how much do you sell them?"

"Ten pesos." Said regra.

Xiao Peng calculated the exchange rate, about 40 cents a piece: "how much do you sell each month?"

Regra shrugged: "it doesn't have to be. It depends on the tourists. It can sell three or four hundred a month."

"What about your output?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.

"I have a limited amount of tobacco here, and the annual output is up to 6000 cigars." Said regra.

After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed: "Alas, the quantity is too small. It's meaningless. I can only keep it for myself. Dana, in the future, I'll charge you as many cigars as you like. You don't have to worry about the taxes. I'll give you one dollar for each one. Do you think this price is appropriate? "

Without waiting for Dana to reply, regra had already said, "yes, that's right." Her handmade cigars are the size of Cohiba century 6, which is exported for less than a dollar a piece.

Dana interrupted: "Mr. Xiao, my mother and several colleagues also make handmade cigars. I don't know..."

"What's the quality of their cigars?" Xiao asked

Dana quickly said: "it's a time-honored cigarette maker. There must be no problem with the level. "

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "OK, I believe you. I don't have much energy on this cigar, because I like smoking. I need 24000 a year. In addition to your family's 6000, you can raise the rest 18000. But the quality must be guaranteed. "

Dana looked happy after hearing this: "great! It's no problem! "

After hearing this, sun Pengcheng frowned and said, "brother Peng, what's the good use of more than 20000 cigars? You say you smoke, it's too much. You say take out? Cuba exports 160 million cigars a year! Are you too few? "

Xiao Peng pointed to sun Pengcheng and said, "you know a fart, so you have such good resources. You are still a poor life in this life! Register a foreign trade company and I'll give you 20% of the shares! "

Sun Pengcheng blinked: "brother Peng, are you right? I took a lot of trouble to set up the company, and you took 80% of the shares? "

Xiao Peng lit a cigar and said slowly, "now I account for 90%..."

Sun Pengcheng quickly waved his hand: "don't! Two achievements, twenty percent! It's up to me! "

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "you are still a smart man. This cigar smoking is not smoking. Most of the people who smoke this just say it is for the sake of two characters --- loading X. How many people can really draw the difference between cigars? Since I want to install x, I let them install enough! Can you believe that I can make you count the money and get the cramps in your hands just with these 20000 cigars? "

"Letter! Brother Peng! I believe whatever you say Sun Pengcheng is not stupid. Xiao Peng has already heard the meaning of his words. Xiao Peng is going to sell this cigar to sky high price. He was just curious about how Xiao Peng was going to operate this matter.

Is anyone really stupid enough to buy cigars at sky high prices?

Dana is also in a good mood now. It turns out that she secretly produces cigars and sells them to cigarette dealers. If she is caught, it will be troublesome. This is an illegal act.

Although Garcia can deal with such problems, it will also bring problems to Garcia.

Now, don't worry about safety, don't worry about sales, good days at home are coming!

Dana's happy expression was written on her face. Xiao Peng said with a smile, "well, don't be happy. It seems that it's very troublesome to register a company here?"

Dana listened and said to Garcia, "honey, it's up to you."
