Abstract: In order to enhance the quality and style characteristics of the cigar wrapper, the study investigated the effects of different quality wooden barrels curing treatments on the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the cigar wrapper. The cigar wrapper was placed in cedar barrels, 1916 oak barrels, and whiskey oak barrels for maintenance, and identified the sensory quality, chemical composition, and volatile substances of the cured cigar wrapper were indentified. The results showed that cedar barrels had a great effect on improving the sensory quality of cigars, and increasing the total sugar content, olefins and alcohols content, as well as the quantity and content of volatile components, which could help to improve the quality of cigars.

Key words: cedar barrels, volatile substances, oak barrels, aroma quality, cigar
