Suitable pure tobacco leaf supplies include tobacco lamina, tobacco stem material and tobacco stalk material. The natural tobacco leaf materials used as the second tobacco materials could embody any type of tobacco leaf, including for instance Virginia tobacco leaf, Burley tobacco leaf, Oriental tobacco leaf, flue-cured tobacco leaf, or a mix thereof. A tobacco reduce filler according to the present invention includes a first tobacco material reduce in accordance with a primary Fashion tobacco pipe reduce specification, wherein the first cut specification units no less than predetermined first reduce width and first minimize length. The term “filling power” is used to describe the volume of house taken up by a given weight or mass of a tobacco material. The greater the filling power of a tobacco materials, the decrease the weight of the fabric required to fill a tobacco rod of normal dimensions.
Even more ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of no less than about zero.2 mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the primary tobacco material 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 preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about zero.85 mm.
In practice, one such minimize strip may be described as approximately wave-shaped or zigzag-shaped. Accordingly, geometric parameters comparable to the peak amplitude, peak-to-peak amplitude, period of a sine wave could also be used to describe the form of 1 such minimize strips. A tobacco minimize filler comprises a primary tobacco materials minimize in accordance with a primary reduce specification, whereby the first minimize specification sets at least predetermined first minimize width and first minimize length. A tobacco minimize filler according to any one of the previous claims, whereby the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize width from about 0.2 mm to about 1 mm.
In addition or in its place, the method may additional comprise a step of adjusting the moisture content of the second tobacco materials. A home-made cigarette made using fine-cut tobacco may be called either a Roll-Your-Own or a Make-Your-Own. This is decided by whether or not it’s rolled by hand using paper and tobacco, or whether or not it’s made utilizing a cigarette-tube filling machine. Several completely different tobacco blends, different curing method and slicing methods are used to make cigarettes. Cutting the first Filling cut tobacco tobacco material in accordance with a primary minimize specification setting no less than predetermined first reduce width and first reduce size. [newline]A smoking article comprising a rod of a tobacco cut filler based on any one of claims 1 to 13. Figures 9 and 1 1 illustrate two examples of strips having a extra complicated, “hybrid” form, whereby strip buildings having the identical or totally different form substantially department off one another.
Should one such particle break at a location within the central V-shaped portion, the 2 ensuing elements of the particles would nonetheless be successfully V-shaped. The highest CCV values have been obtained for reduce specification no. 3, which considerably corresponds to particles having a Y-shape. However, it was found that when particles were produced from the identical sheet of reconstituted tobacco based on minimize specification no. 3 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 in the following Table 3 had been measured. Tobacco cut fillers in accordance with the current invention may be ready by a method comprising providing a primary tobacco materials and cutting the primary tobacco material in accordance with a primary minimize specification setting no less than predetermined first reduce width and first cut size. Tobacco reduce filler in accordance with the present invention could additionally be integrated into quite so much of smoking articles.
According to a side of the present invention, there is supplied a tobacco cut filler comprising a first tobacco materials minimize in accordance with a first cut specification, wherein the primary reduce specification sets no less than predetermined first reduce width and first cut size. U.S. Patent 6,568,104 assigned to Philip Morris Inc., New York, New York, USA. A process for making ready tobacco stem to be used as filler for a smoking article contains classifying the green tobacco stem by diameter to supply a plurality of stem grades and rolling every grade individually. Each grade is rolled under 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 in order to attain a uniform rolled stem thickness and the oven volatiles content material of the stem being adjusted earlier than the rolling.
