Should one such particle break at a location within the central V-shaped portion, the 2 resulting parts of the particles would still be effectively V-shaped. The highest CCV values have been obtained for cut specification no. three, which substantially corresponds to particles having a Y-shape. However, it was found that when particles were produced from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco in accordance with minimize specification no. three are produced, a significant fraction of the tobacco materials went to waste. These correspond to the shapes illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, respectively, for which the values of CCV listed within tobacco pipe the following Table three have been measured. Tobacco cut fillers in accordance with the present invention could also be ready by a way comprising providing a first tobacco materials and slicing the first tobacco materials in accordance with a first reduce specification setting at least predetermined first cut width and first cut length. Tobacco minimize filler in accordance with the current invention may be included into a selection of smoking articles.
More ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize width of less than about 0.95 mm. Even more ideally, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize width of less than about zero.9 mm. In preferred embodiments, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce width from about zero.2 mm to about 1 mm. Preferably, the second tobacco materials is a pure tobacco leaf material.
More preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce width of a minimum of about zero.25 mm. Even more ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut width of a minimum of about zero.3 mm. In addition, or in its place, the first tobacco materials is ideally shredded into strips having a minimize width of less than about 1 mm.
Even more ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of at least about zero.2 mm. In addition, or instead, the primary tobacco materials is preferably shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about 1 mm. More ideally , the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of less than about zero.95 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of less than about zero.eighty five mm.
In most well-liked embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. Even more ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about zero.1 mm to about 0.3 mm, most ideally from a sheet materials having a thickness of about 0.2 mm. A tobacco reduce filler in accordance with any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the first Fashion tobacco pipe tobacco materials is shredded into strips every comprising at least a first strip structure comprising a branching node from which a further strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the first strip construction. Figures 10 and 12 show two examples of minimize strips including a number of V-shaped construction. Each V structure contains two substantially straight parts forming an angle.
The yield of flat rolled stem which can be used directly as filler is elevated, and the common stem size and thus the average length of reduce filler from stem is elevated. A tobacco minimize filler according to any one of many previous claims having a filling energy of no less than three.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 % oven volatiles. Accordingly, tobacco particles had been ready from the identical sheet of reconstituted tobacco based on the reduce specification illustrated in Figure 12, wherein the cut width SCW1 is of zero.9 millimetres, the minimize size CL1 is of 4.ninety four millimetres and the global width CW1 is of 12.50 millimetres.
