Fast Pyrolysis of Cigarette and Cigar Leaves: Differential Analysis of Their Heavy Products by Ultrahigh‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry

The main difference in pyrolysis products between cigarette and cigar leaves relates to N₁-N₂ class compounds in high-mass range as well as highly unsaturated nitrogenated compounds, while the one between two cigar leaves is associated with C_xH_yO_zN_5-9 and C_30-50H_yO_zN_w compounds. Besides, the oxygenated products that fall into the H/C > 2 and O/C < 1 ranges are also characteristic for Dominican cigar.
