More preferably, the reduce filler has a filling energy of lower than about 7 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value of 12.5 % oven volatiles. In some notably most well-liked embodiments, the minimize filler has a filling power of from about 3.5 cubic centimetres per gram to about eight cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 % oven volatiles. Preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce size of at least about 5 mm. More preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce length of at least about 10 mm.
In flip, the third Y-shaped construction comprises a third branching node from which an oblong construction branches off. In the embodiments of both Figures 9 and 1 1 the sectional minimize width inside all the constructions forming the cut strips is considerably constant. By means of instance, in a Y-shaped strip it’s possible to establish a primary strip portion extending alongside a first direction and a second and third strip portions extending from the first strip parts along diverging directions, in order that they form an angle.
The expressions “ultimate cut width” and “ultimate cut length” are used herein to explain the minimize width and minimize length of a tobacco materials as found in a tobacco cut filler used in a tobacco product. The methodology may further comprise a step of conditioning the primary tobacco material prior to chopping the primary tobacco material. Further, the method could comprise a step of controlling the moisture content of the cut filler by adjusting the moisture content of the first tobacco material.
In particular, one such strip might comprise at least a primary strip structure comprising a branching node from which an extra strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the first strip structure. The moisture content of the tobacco cut filler is expressed herein as “p.c oven volatiles”, which is determined by measuring the percentage weight Filling cut tobacco loss from the reduce filler upon drying the material in an oven at 103 degrees Centigrade (°C) for 100 minutes. It is assumed that a major majority of the burden loss from the reduce filler results from the evaporation of moisture. A technique in accordance with any one of claims 15 to 17, wherein the second tobacco material is a reconstituted tobacco sheet.
A tobacco minimize filler in accordance with any one of the previous claims, whereby the primary tobacco materials is a reconstituted tobacco sheet. Preferably, the minimize filler has a filling power of at least about 3.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 percent oven volatiles. More preferably, the minimize filler has a filling power of no less than about 4 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value of 12.5 p.c oven volatiles. In addition, or in its place, the cut filler ideally has a filling energy of lower than about eight cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value of 12.5 % oven volatiles.
In apply, one such cut strip could additionally be described as roughly wave-shaped or zigzag-shaped. Accordingly, geometric parameters similar to the height amplitude, peak-to-peak amplitude, interval of a sine wave may be used to explain the form of one such minimize strips. A tobacco reduce filler contains a primary tobacco material minimize in accordance with a first tobacco pipe reduce specification, wherein the primary minimize specification sets at least predetermined first minimize width and first reduce length. A tobacco reduce filler in accordance with any one of many preceding claims, wherein the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize width from about zero.2 mm to about 1 mm.
As the name implies, it’s merely a mix of completely different tobacco sorts, cuts and flavors. They are simple to fill and smoke, and have greater robustness and taste selection than unfastened minimize tobacco on its own. The first tobacco materials may be minimize into strips having any appropriate form, together with rectangular, trapezoidal, sinusoidal, Y-shaped, X-shaped and V-shaped.
Reconstituted tobacco is formed from tobacco materials corresponding to tobacco stems, tobacco stalks, leaf scraps and tobacco dust, that are produced during the manufacturing processes of tobacco products. Such tobacco material could, for example, be floor to a fine powder after which combined with water and sometimes with a binder, corresponding to guar gum, to form a slurry. This slurry is then forged onto a supportive floor, similar to a belt conveyor, and dried to kind a sheet (so referred to as ‘solid leaf) that can be removed from the supportive surface and wound into bobbins.
