Even extra preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of at least about 0.2 mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the primary tobacco material is ideally shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of lower than about 1 mm. More preferably Fashion tobacco pipe, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about 0.ninety five mm. Even more ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of lower than about zero.eighty five mm.
A tobacco reduce filler in accordance with any one of many preceding claims, wherein the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut size from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. A tobacco reduce filler in accordance with any considered one of claims 2 to four, whereby the second tobacco material is a pure tobacco leaf material. An angle of ninety levels was thought-about to be undesirable, in that it might lead basically to a shape fairly similar to the shape of Figure 6, and so an angle of 60 levels was chosen for the “V” components. Further, the tactic preferably contains the step of mixing the reduce first tobacco material and the minimize second tobacco material.
In most well-liked embodiments, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. Even more ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about zero.1 mm to about zero.three mm, most preferably from a sheet material having a thickness of about zero.2 mm. A tobacco minimize filler based on any certainly one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the first tobacco material is shredded into strips each comprising at least a primary strip construction comprising a branching node from which a further strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the primary strip construction. Figures 10 and 12 present two examples of cut strips including one or more V-shaped structure. Each V structure comprises two substantially straight parts forming an angle.
Further, the second Y-shaped structure includes a second branching node from which an oblong construction branches off. In the embodiment of Figure 1 1 , the cut strip contains a first Y-shaped construction including a primary branching node from which a second Y-shaped structure branches off. Further, the second Y-shaped construction includes a second branching node from which a third Y-shaped structure branches off.
Without wishing to be certain to principle, will in all probability be appreciated that in any slicing, rolling or extruding operation, the tobacco fibres typically align in a given direction, which may thus be identified because the longitudinal direction of the tobacco materials. The “cut length” of a cut strip of tobacco material for incorporation in minimize fillers in accordance with the current invention might subsequently be measured along the main path of fibre alignment, which typically corresponds to the longitudinal path. Thus, the reduce tobacco pipe size of an individual minimize strip may be precisely measured utilizing a standard measuring device under a microscope. In a standard course of, reconstituted tobacco or tobacco stem material or both are sometimes blended with threshed tobacco lamina to endure a series of treatments, corresponding to conditioning and drying. To this function, a reconstituted tobacco sheet is typically ripped into randomly formed sheet-like pieces having a non-uniform dimension, typically of several sq. centimetres.
In some embodiments, tobacco cut filler in accordance with the invention may be used within the tobacco rod of a combustible smoking article, similar to a filter cigarette, cigarillo or cigar. Alternatively, the reduce filler may be used to provide the tobacco aerosol producing substrate in a distillation primarily based smoking article, or an electrically heated smoking system. Alternatively, the cut filler may be used as a roll-your-own or make-your-own product, or loose tobacco product to be used in a pipe.
