Picking

Description

Picking – Pick the best, discard the rest: at this stage of the process, all leaves that do not meet the required quality standards are removed by hand. This includes leaves with undesirable colours or other defects. Non-tobacco related materials – from grasses and stones to styrofoam and even plastic or metal particles, which should not be in there – are also removed. The fact is that the meticulous, multi-stage removal of NTRMs ensures smooth production sequences, helps to prevent unnecessary material costs and is essential for subsequent product quality.
