From the basically unqualified product to the basics, she used it for 3 months; she used handmade cigar roll apprentices to chief operators for 7 years. Li Qiuyue, the leader of the Great Wall Cigar Smoking Factory of Sichuan Zhongyan Industry Co., Ltd. Great Wall Cigar Smooth Factory, Li Qiuyue, the leader of Li Qiuyue Innovation Studio, promoted the spirit of craftsmen with his dexterous hands, and created a period of cigar legend.

On September 22, Li Qiuyue told the cover journalist that as a technical practitioner, she would go deep into the masses, especially to understand the opinions and suggestions of technical practitioners, and fulfill the duties of party representatives.

Repeat practice

The product is basically qualified in 3 months

Because his parents worked at Shifang Guangming Cigarette Factory (now Great Wall Cigar Factory), Li Qiusyue, when he was a child, had many opportunities to visit the factory area to visit and play. Li Qiuyue recalled that when he was a child, he had secretly licked the cigars in the house with his parents. The taste was sweet. "I always feel that I have some fate with the cigar."

In 2005, Li Qiuyue entered the cigar manufacturing department of Shifang Tobacco Factory through the recruitment test and became a handmade cigar roll -making worker. As a novice, her main task is to put eggplant on the mini cigar. This is the easiest part of the cigar roll -making work.

I will not distinguish the left and right hands of tobacco leaves, I do n’t know how to choose the smoke embryo, and I ca n’t control the strength of the hand ... One day, the workers can roll more than 400 cigars, and Li Qiuyue can only roll out more than 100. Among them, the unqualified ones are still There are twenty or thirty. Li Qiuyue said: "I thought I was able to compare it by hand, and the cigar was also hand -made. It should not be difficult to do it.

In order to improve the qualification rate of the product, Li Qiuyue humbly learned from Master Huang Bingfu, and at the same time, he used a large number of exercises to practice. There is no trick, only the whole set of actions is constantly repeated, increasing the familiarity of cigars, and enhancing roll -making technology. Three months later, she could make more than 1,000 a day, with almost no unqualified products.

Li Qiuyue told the cover news reporter that the same actions have been dull and the same. It is necessary to improve the level of rolling technology.

Explore innovation

Create a unique "monthly faction" technique

Since 2006, the Great Wall Cigar Factory began to plan to produce handmade cigars on a large scale, and selected more than 80 people including Li Qiuyue to participate in technical training. At that time, the handmade cigar roll -making techniques were still in the exploration stage. What is the ratio of the eggplant core, the best place to place, whether the degree of tightness of the smoke pine is appropriate, and the size of the cigarettes. After a year of training, Li Qiuyue continued to practice, concluded and reflected, and gradually established his own perception criteria.

Before 2008, the handmade cigar roll method was relatively simple, mainly to stack the tobacco leaves one by one, and it was uniform as the book paper. The rate is unstable. "Some consumers report that cigars are like a stick, which can't be moved."

Under the pressure of the product inhalation resistance rate, Li Qiuyue consulted a large number of video materials made of handmade cigar rolls at home and abroad, and kept trying and error summary. After hundreds of thousands of failures, she tried the solution -rolled each tobacco leaf into vertical shape, forming a single channel, and then combined it.

Li Qiuyue said that the techniques of each volume worker are different. How to operate it, you need to continue to try and summarize themselves at work.

In 2013, in the first Hainan Cigar Cigar Celling Festival Cigar Formula Formula and Rolling Exchange Competition, Li Qiuyue rolled the "Pisces Torpedo Cigar" works to win the best appearance award.

From the apprentices to the chief operator, Li Qiuyue used for 7 years. In Li Qiuyue's creation studio, various innovative products are displayed. Each handmade cigar is made of scrolls with tobacco leaves in 3 to 5 different production areas. The taste of the front, middle and tail sections of the product is different. The tobacco leaves in different production areas are different in terms of thickness and combustion, and rolled workers need to pay special attention.

Li Qiuyue showed the cover news reporter and the most difficulty -shaped cigarette. Due to the inconsistent head and tail shape, the number of smoke leaves and positions were very important. She pointed to a thinner part and said, "For example, there are fewer tobacco leaves here, but we must not only ensure that the cigar is smooth, but also pay attention to the taste of each tobacco leaf, which is very difficult."

As a women's volume, Li Qiuyue incorporated the gentleness and delicateness of women into the roll cigar, and created a single leaf into the overlapping roll method, rotating and filled with eggplant rolls, forming a unique "monthly faction" method. In the way of genre, the standard and style of some Chinese cigars are solidified.

Volume 119 meters cigar

In 2018, Li Qiuyue and the two brothers received the task to make a longest cigar in the world as a memorial. Because he did not want to waste tobacco leaves to make a simple souvenir, Li Qiuyue decided to discuss with his brothers and make the longest handmade cigars in accordance with the specifications that can be tasting.

The longer the cigar is, the higher the speed of rotating the rolling workers and the tomato jacket. A little carelessly, the entire smoke branch may be uneven, and even deformed and broken. Li Qiuyue still remembers that it was snowy days. In order to keep the tobacco leaves moisture and avoid cracking and crushing, the cigar museum did not open the air conditioner. The three people wore a light work suit and worked for several days.

After more than 20 days of research test, it took 11 days to use 118 kg of tobacco leaves. They completed the world's longest 119.18 meters of roll -up work and became the first "world" of Chinese cigars. The task was completed, and everyone had a cold.
