BEEDI (BIDI) MAKING BY MACHINE

[EIRI/EDPR/1346] J.C. 109

INTRODUCTION

Commercial tobacco is obtained by processing the leaves of plant genus NICOTIANNA. The processed  leaves  when  smoked,  hewed  or  in halted exert a mild narcotic effect  on  the  human system,  which  is addictive. Tobacco products fall  under  three categories  :- smoking, chewing and inhaling. Cigarettes,  bidis, cigars,  pipe  and  hookah tobacco are  the  products  which  are smoked. There are various types of preparations which are chewed. Shuff is the product which is inhaled.

The  varieties  of tobacco which are called  desi-type  have tall  plants with broad long leaves and usually plants with  pink flower. Rustlca variety known as vilayati and calcutta have short plants  with round puckered leaves and yellow  flowers.  Specific varieties  in talcum species have been developed  for  cigarette, cigar,  bidi,  hookah, chewing and shuff tobacco.  The  varieties developed  in rustical species are used only for  hookah  chewing and shuff. They are not suitable for use in cigarettes, bidis  or cigars.

Tobacco production in India averages at 600  million  which may  be  valued  at about Rs. 800- 850 million.  Tobacco  is  the foremost  earner  of excise revenue and brings to  the  exchequer over  Rs. 800 million by way of exports only about one  sixth  of country's production is being exported.

Bidi  is a typical Indian product which is made by  wrapping ground  tobacco mixture in a special variety of leaf and  rolling into  small lengths. Cheapest indigenous smoking tobacco is  used in the manufacture of bidis.

Beedies are legacy of Indian Culture and a special smoking gift of India; it is not just another name for cigarettes, cigars or cigarillos. The existence of Bidi is known to be for earlier than a century, it’s believed that bidis came in to existence much before cigarettes. Bidis are hand rolled by wrapping, traditional sun cured tobaccos, in a natural forest leaf commonly called 'tendu leaf' botanical name is 'Diaspyros Melanoxylon' which is natural and free from nicotine. Bidi gives the most natural smoke of choice Indian tobaccos specially grown and processed without any additives and chemicals. Bidi was invented for a highly satisfying natural smoking pleasure.
