In some embodiments, tobacco cut filler according to the invention could additionally be used within the tobacco rod of a flamable smoking article, such as a filter cigarette, cigarillo or cigar. Alternatively, the minimize filler could additionally be used to supply the tobacco aerosol generating substrate in a distillation based mostly smoking article, or an electrically heated smoking system. Alternatively, the reduce filler may be used as a roll-your-own or make-your-own product, or unfastened tobacco product to be used in a pipe.
In addition, a second couple of blends was used, that contained 70 percent by weight of natural tobacco particles and 30 p.c by weight of reconstituted tobacco particles cut in accordance with the specifications of Figures 1 1 and 12, respectively. Thus, the minimize width of a person minimize strip is taken on the level alongside the size of the strip that yields the biggest cross-sectional space. Further, the filling energy of the shredded first tobacco material can be maximised by choosing an acceptable first minimize specification. This leads to an improved filling power of the cut filler as a whole, notably when the primary tobacco materials is mixed with at least one other tobacco materials.
In most well-liked embodiments, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.1 mm to about 0.3 mm, most ideally from a sheet material having a thickness of about zero.2 mm. A tobacco minimize filler based on any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the primary tobacco pipe tobacco material is shredded into strips every comprising a minimum of a first strip construction comprising a branching node from which an additional strip construction branches off, forming an angle with the primary strip structure. Figures 10 and 12 show two examples of minimize strips together with a number of V-shaped structure. Each V structure comprises two substantially straight components forming an angle.
A tobacco reduce filler in accordance with declare 1 or 2, wherein the primary tobacco material is a pre- processed tobacco materials. In a third experiment, the cut specification no. 10 was slightly modified with a view to improving the resistance of the particles to the stresses involved by the cigarette-making process. In particular, there was concern that through the cigarette-making course of the tobacco particle could be uncovered to excessive tensions and frictions which could trigger particles prepared in accordance with the minimize specification no. 10 to interrupt. This could have lowered the benefit coming from the V-shape and proven by the CCV measurements described above. Figure 13 depicts a schematic view of an apparatus for forming a tobacco reduce filler in accordance with the present invention. Figures depict a quantity of examples of particularly shapes into which tobacco material for forming a cut filler in accordance with the present invention could additionally be cut.
A tobacco reduce filler according to any one of many preceding claims, wherein the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce length from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. A tobacco minimize filler according to any considered one of claims 2 to 4, wherein the second tobacco materials is a natural tobacco leaf material. An angle of ninety degrees was considered to be undesirable, in that it would lead basically to a shape fairly much like the shape of Figure 6, and so an angle of 60 degrees was chosen for the “V” components. Further, the tactic preferably includes the step of mixing the cut first tobacco material and the reduce second tobacco material.
