The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco curing, and particularly relates to a flue-cured tobacco curing method for increasing the content of Maillard reactants in heated cigarette tobacco leaf raw materials. The method comprises the following steps: A, harvesting: harvesting fresh flue-cured tobacco leaves which are suitable for ripening; B, rod weaving and furnace loading: weaving the harvested tobacco leaves into rods, loading the leaves into a curing barn and waiting for curing; C, curing: curing the tobacco leaves loaded into the furnace, and obtaining the baked tobacco leaves after a yellowing period, a color fixing period and a stem drying period. The content of Maillard reactants in the tobacco leaves is remarkably increased in bulk curing, the aroma amount of the heated cigarettes is remarkably increased in the low-temperature heating process, the quality of the tobacco leaf raw materials of the heated cigarettes is improved, and the method has great significance in guaranteeing the high-quality tobacco leaf raw materials of the heated cigarettes.
