More preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce width of lower than about 0.95 mm. Even more ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut width of less than about 0.9 mm. In most well-liked embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut width from about 0.2 mm to about 1 mm. Preferably, the second tobacco materials is a pure tobacco leaf materials.
The yield of flat rolled stem which can be used instantly as filler is elevated, and the typical stem size and thus the typical length of minimize filler from stem is increased. A tobacco cut filler based on any one of the preceding claims having a filling power of a minimum of three.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value tobacco pipe of 12.5 p.c oven volatiles. Accordingly, tobacco particles were prepared from the identical sheet of reconstituted tobacco in accordance with the cut specification illustrated in Figure 12, whereby the reduce width SCW1 is of 0.9 millimetres, the minimize size CL1 is of four.ninety four millimetres and the global width CW1 is of 12.50 millimetres.
Even more preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of at least about 0.2 mm. In addition, or in its place, the primary tobacco materials is preferably shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of lower than about 1 mm. More ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of less than about zero.95 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of less than about 0.85 mm.
Should one such particle break at a location within the central V-shaped portion, the two ensuing components of the particles would nonetheless be successfully V-shaped. The highest CCV values had been obtained for reduce specification no. three, which considerably corresponds to particles having a Y-shape. However, it was found that when particles had been produced from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco according to minimize specification no. three are produced, a big 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 Fashion tobacco pipe the following Table 3 had been measured. Tobacco cut fillers according to the present invention could additionally be ready by a technique comprising offering a first tobacco material and chopping the first tobacco material in accordance with a primary reduce specification setting no much less than predetermined first cut width and first minimize size. Tobacco cut filler in accordance with the present invention could also be included into a wide range of smoking articles.
According to a facet of the present invention, there’s supplied a tobacco cut filler comprising a primary tobacco materials minimize in accordance with a primary cut specification, whereby the first minimize specification sets at least predetermined first reduce width and first minimize size. U.S. Patent 6,568,104 assigned to Philip Morris Inc., New York, New York, USA. A course of for preparing tobacco stem to be Filling cut tobacco used as filler for a smoking article consists of classifying the green tobacco stem by diameter to offer a plurality of stem grades and rolling each grade separately. Each grade is rolled under rolling circumstances optimized for that grade including rolling the grade via the nip between rollers with the nip size being adjusted for every grade in order to achieve a uniform rolled stem thickness and the oven volatiles content of the stem being adjusted before the rolling.
Suitable natural tobacco leaf supplies include tobacco lamina, tobacco stem material and tobacco stalk materials. The pure tobacco leaf materials used as the second tobacco material could embrace 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 cut filler in accordance with the current invention comprises a first tobacco material cut in accordance with a primary minimize specification, wherein the primary reduce specification sets at least predetermined first reduce width and first minimize length. The term “filling power” is used to describe the quantity of house taken up by a given weight or mass of a tobacco materials. The larger the filling energy of a tobacco material, the decrease the load of the fabric required to fill a tobacco rod of standard dimensions.
