Abstract：In order to construct a comprehensive evaluation method for cigar wrapper quality,40 domestic and foreign samples of cigar wrapper were selected as the research subjects,appearance quality,physical properties,chemical composition and sensory quality of cigar wrapper were taken as the evaluation indexs.The quality of cigar wrapper was evaluated by the combination of objective weighting method(CRITIC weight method,coefficient of variation method,standard deviation method)and subjective weighting method(analytic hierarchy process).The results showed that in the weighting method,the weight of appearance quality was 47.56%,the weight of physical characteristics was 20.31%,the weight of chemical composition was 10.75%,and the weight of sensory quality was 21.38%.The consistency and compatibility between the combined objective weighting method and the three single objective weighting methods were better,and the processing process was simpler.The indexs with higher weights in the combination of subjective and objective weighting methods were equilibrium moisture content(4.89%)and tensile strength(4.54%),while the indexs with lower weights were potassium content(0.53%)and reducing sugar/total sugar(0.58%).In the comprehensive score of cigar wrapper,the highest score was for the Primero E1(M-Sumatra)sample from Dominica(0.79)and the lowest scores were for the HH1/MM1 from Indonesia and the WRB/CA/PFS-S sample from Brazilian(both 0.67);the cigar wrappers from Dominica had the highest comprehensive score(0.75),while those from Fujian Province in China had the lowest score(0.70).
