Abstract: The paper aims to clarify the relationship between tobacco quality and altitude in Enshi. The correlations of main chemical constituents and sensory quality of the central tobacco leaves with the altitudes were analyzed within the altitude of 540~1 680 m in Enshi. The results showed that the correlation of the main chemical composition indexes and their derived values with the altitude was not significant,while the score for the coordination of main chemical components of tobacco leaves was negatively related to the altitude. The total score of smoking as well as the scores for the quality of aroma,irritation,volume of aroma,miscellaneous gas and aftertaste were very significantly or significantly positively correlated with the altitude,but there was no correlation between combustibility or grey score and the altitude. Regression analysis showed that the coordination of chemical components of tobacco leaves decreased with the increase of altitude,while the sensory evaluation quality gradually increased.
