The global quality cigar tobacco planting areas are basically dominated by tropical rain forest or tropical monsoon climate. The overall quality of cigar raw materials from Chinese and overseas planting areas has the certain disparity by multiple factors. In order to study the chemical constituents, a cluster and comparative analysis was conducted on some domestic and foreign cigar tobacco. The contents of carbohydrates and the distribution of amino acids reflected the characteristics of cigar tobacco. There were large differences among cigar tobacco samples from different planting areas in the content of conventional chemical components, and the chemical components of the cigar tobacco leaves had harmonious percentage in general. The average contents of total sugar, reducing sugar, anatabine, glutamic acid, linolenic acid and linoleic acid in cigar tobacco samples from Hainan and foreign planting areas were significantly lower than those in the other three planting areas in China, but the pectin content showed the opposite pattern. In terms of aroma components, the average contents of carotenoid degradation products such as megastigmatrienone, linalool and damascenone, non-enzymatic brown-reaction products such as pyrazine and furfural, and solanone in cigar tobacco samples from other three planting areas in China were significantly higher than those from Hainan and foreign planting areas. The average contents of neophytadiene, isoamyl alcohol, pyridine, phenyl ethanol and other aroma components in cigar tobacco samples from all domestic planting areas were higher than those from foreign planting areas, and the difference was significant or most significant. These planting areas fell into four categories according to clustering results. The first group included America areas and Hainan Province in China. The second group included Indonesian areas. Hubei Province, Yunnan Province was in the third group, and Sichuan province was in the fourth group.
