Maybe, though I'm not aware of them. Some of the random tobacco documents, published following the lawsuits against the tobacco industry, sometimes have tidbits, but it takes lucky searches to locate useful info:
"An archive of 14 million documents created by tobacco companies about their advertising, manufacturing, marketing, scientific research and political activities..."

One of the challenges with defining tobacco leaf finishing processes is that the
starting chemical composition of each batch of a single tobacco variety from a single source differs from one stalk position to the next, and from one growing season to the next—sometimes from one acre of field to the next. (Massive industrial processing benefits from the averaging effect of scale.) And there are well over 3000 named
N. tabacum varieties. [Food recipes often include the weaselly, "cook for x minutes,
or until done". Translated = "I cooked it for x minutes, but that's just my ingredients in my pot on my stove during a cold winter afternoon in Duluth."]
The tobacco (pipe, cigarette, cigar, smokeless) industry has a long tradition of obscuring even their most standard and obvious, "proprietary" information. So "stove" definitely means, "heated". But that's all you get. My pipe blend labels spell out the exact recipe, with no hidden ingredients. The makers of commercial products don't want you to know what is in their cigars or pipe blends.
Over the past 13 years, members of this forum have struggled, and sometimes succeeded in discovering a number of tobacco finishing processes that work. I suspect that, for the "stoving" adventure, you will have to experiment, and hopefully document and publish your results here.
