`The influence is investigated of different methods preliminary preparation of tobacco flue-cured leaves, local variety on continuation of curing process and quality. The material preparation expressed in: leaves with stem stretch - variant I; leaves with stem cross cut through-variant II and control. The curing was made in experimental curing chambers with electrical heating apparatus in standard regime of leaves of upper part of middle stalk position /C and B/. The results obtained of curing curves show shortening time of process. It's maximum in variant with main vein cut through - 22% and in variant with stretch - 5,5% compared to control. The dependence between moisture content and time of process has the same character. The process precipitation is maximum in the stage of falling velocity for variant with cut through. The investigated methods of material preparation for curing prove visible changes to quality indexes of cured tobacco.
