According to an aspect of the current invention, there may be provided a tobacco cut filler comprising a first tobacco material minimize in accordance with a primary minimize specification, whereby the first cut specification units a minimal of predetermined first minimize width and first reduce length. U.S. Patent 6,568,104 assigned to Philip Morris Inc., New York, New York, USA. A process for getting ready tobacco stem for use as filler for a smoking article contains classifying the green tobacco stem by diameter to provide a plurality of stem grades and rolling every grade individually. Each grade is rolled beneath rolling circumstances optimized for that grade including rolling the grade by way of the nip between rollers with the nip measurement being adjusted for every grade so as to realize a uniform rolled stem thickness and the oven volatiles content material of the stem being adjusted earlier than the rolling.
In addition or instead, the method might further comprise a step of adjusting the moisture content of the second tobacco materials. A home-made cigarette made using fine-cut tobacco may be referred to as either a Roll-Your-Own or a Make-Your-Own. This is dependent upon whether or not it’s rolled by hand utilizing paper and tobacco, or whether it is made utilizing a cigarette-tube filling machine. Several totally different tobacco blends, different curing method and cutting strategies are used to make cigarettes. Cutting the first tobacco materials in accordance with a primary reduce specification setting a minimum of predetermined first cut width and first reduce size. [newline]A smoking article comprising a rod of a tobacco minimize filler according to any certainly one of claims 1 to thirteen. Figures 9 and 1 1 illustrate two examples of strips having a more complicated, “hybrid” shape, wherein strip buildings having the identical or totally different form considerably department off one another.
In addition, the formation of tobacco dust is lowered compared with conventional manufacturing methods. Accordingly, the necessity to collect and re-process tobacco dust is considerably reduced and the general effectivity of the manufacturing process is thus advantageously increased. A tobacco cut filler according to any one of the previous claims, wherein the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a sinusoidal form tobacco pipe, wherein a wave length of the sinusoidal shape is from about 1 mm to about 15 mm. A tobacco reduce filler according to any one of the preceding claims, whereby the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. Table 2 under lists the values of CCV measured at a reference moisture value of 12.5 % oven volatiles for each sample.
Within a cut strip of tobacco material, the sectional cut width may be the substantially identical for all the strip portions. While this may be preferable, the sectional cut width may also vary from one strip portion to a different. Typically, previous to being reduce, a tobacco material could undergo other mechanical operations, corresponding to rolling or extrusion.
In some embodiment, the minimize width distribution among the many reduce strips of the first tobacco materials is preferably unimodal. In other embodiments, the cut width distribution among the cut strips of the first tobacco materials could also be multimodal, together with particularly bimodal and trimodal. If a distribution has two or more modes, it is typically known as multimodal. Particular examples are bimodal and trimodal distributions, which have two and three modes, respectively. Preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize width of a minimum of about 0.2 mm.
