Abstract: Chemical analysis and smoking quality of 103 leaf samples from four different areas of Bozhou was carried out to investigate style and characteristics.Results showed that burnt-sweetness type was the main style characteristic of the tobacco leaves in Bozhou.Hay incense and sweet aroma and burnt aroma were the dominating note,and elecampane and burnt aroma were the subsidiary note.The quality characteristics of tobacco leaves in Bozhou could be divided into three levels,including sufficient aroma with little offensive odor,moderate aroma with moderate offensive odor.The proportion of tobacco leaves harvested in 2014 in these three levels was 42.8%,36.8% and 21.4%,respectively, which was better than 2013.Therefore,the entire quality of Bozhou tobacco leaves was in the medium level.The main weakness of Bozhou tobacco leaves was less aroma,plenty of offensive odor,and poor inflammability.Moreover,high sugar/nicotine ratio in the lower leaves,low nitrogen/nicotine ratio in the upper leaves,and low potassium content while high chloride content were also the main problems of Bozhou tobacco leaves.Therefore,how to increase the content of potassium and reduce chloride will be crucial to improve the quality of bozhou tobacco leaves.

Key words: Tobacco leaves, Quality characteristics, Style orientation, Burnt-sweetness type, Bozhou
