We are interested in the relation that exist between moisture content and duration of the process at different tobacco maturity stages for making its quality. The purpose of this paper is to study the above relation. Determined is the tobacco moisture content at different stages of the process and indicators, detemining the tobacco quality. We have applied known conventional methods. Regressive relation are drawn to express the relation between moisture content and duration of the process, as weii as the curves of the rate of curing. It is demonstrated a considerable increase in the duration of curing with technicaly immature tobacco and a logarithm dependence between moisture content and duration of the process. The second stage of curing (dropping rate) starts at different moisture content of the two investigated variants - technically matured and immature tobacco.
