Whole Leaf Tobacco Moisture
Why is MoistTech the Answer?
MoistTech whole leaf tobacco moisture transmitters measure the moisture levels in tobacco to within tenths of a percent, to ensure tobacco maintains precise moisture levels at every stage in the production process. This is necessary especially since tobacco leaves tend to absorb moisture which would affect the quality of the tobacco. In turn this would also have an effect upon the taste and flavor of the cigarettes.
MoistTech sensors are expertly engineered to drastically improve product quality and optimize the production process, including instant non-contact measuring capabilities. Whole leaf tobacco, like all varieties of tobacco, requires careful treatment and packaging. Used mostly for cigars or to sell in bulk to those who want to roll their own cigarettes, whole leaf tobacco moisture is significant aspect of the production process.

Cigarette Quality
The maintenance of taste is essential. Whole leaf tobacco moisture tends to affect the taste of the cigarettes.
