Abstract: 41 tobacco leaves samples from Xiangxi areas were analyzed by sensory evaluation in order to ascertain the regional characteristics and spatial distribution of taste characteristics. The results were as follows: 1) the irritancy was a little to little; the majority of samples have dryness while the minority of them just have min-dryness; the after taste of a little purity and easiness were taken as the principal. 2) There were extremely significant differences among the different counties for the after taste, non-significant differences among the different counties for the irritancy and dryness; the after taste of flue-cured tobacco from Guzhang County were relatively higher than others.3)The scale of irritancy of flue-cured tobacco from Gaoping town and Liexi town were the lowest among the different towns, while the scale of dryness from Hongshilin town was the lowest and the scale of after taste from Hongshilin town was the highest .4)The taste characteristics of ‘K326’ was better than ‘Yunyan87’.5) The taste characteristics of flue-cured tobacco from plant-tobacco areas under 600m altitude was better than other areas.6) The Kriging interpolation map indicated that the spatial distributions of the scale of taste characteristic indexes were plaque. The 2.6 to2.8 , 2.7 to 2.8 and 2.6 to 2.8were main distribution of irritancy, dryness, and after taste, respectively.
