Even extra preferably, first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length of no much less than about 15 mm. In addition, or in its place, the first tobacco material is preferably shredded into strips having a reduce length of lower than about 60 mm. More preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce size of lower than about 50 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce length of less than about 40 mm. In preferred embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. The term “sectional minimize width” is used in the current specification to describe the side- to-side width of 1 such portion of a minimize strip of tobacco material.
As the name implies, it is simply a combination of completely different tobacco sorts, cuts and flavors. They are easy to fill and smoke, and have greater robustness and style selection than unfastened minimize tobacco by itself. The first tobacco material may be minimize into strips having any appropriate shape, including rectangular, trapezoidal, sinusoidal, Y-shaped, X-shaped and V-shaped.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is supplied a tobacco minimize filler comprising a primary tobacco materials cut in accordance with a first cut specification, wherein the primary reduce specification sets at least predetermined first minimize width and first minimize length. U.S. Patent 6,568,104 assigned to Philip Morris Inc., New York, New York, USA. A course of for getting ready tobacco stem for use as filler for a smoking article consists of classifying the green tobacco stem by diameter to supply a plurality of stem grades and rolling every grade individually. Each grade is rolled beneath rolling conditions optimized for that grade together with rolling the grade through the nip between rollers with the nip size being adjusted for every grade so as to achieve a uniform rolled stem thickness and the oven volatiles content material of the stem being adjusted before the rolling.
Should one such particle break at a location within the central V-shaped portion, the two resulting parts of the particles would still be successfully V-shaped. The highest CCV values have been obtained for minimize specification no. 3, which considerably corresponds to particles having a Y-shape. However, it was discovered that when particles were produced from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco in accordance with cut 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 Fashion tobacco pipe following Table 3 have been measured. Tobacco cut fillers based on the present invention could additionally be ready by a way comprising providing a first tobacco material and slicing the first tobacco materials in accordance with a primary cut specification setting at least predetermined first cut width and first reduce length. Tobacco minimize filler in accordance with the present invention may be incorporated into a selection of smoking articles.
More ideally, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut width of less than about 0.ninety five mm. Even extra preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce width of lower than about zero.9 mm. In most popular embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce width from about 0.2 mm to about 1 mm. Preferably, the second tobacco material is a natural tobacco leaf material.
For example, a bimodal distribution may correspond effectively to 2 groups of minimize strips having different common cut lengths , one group being larger than the opposite. Preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of a minimum of about 0.05 mm. More ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of a minimal of about 0.1 mm.
More preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize width of at least about 0.25 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut tobacco pipe width of at least about 0.3 mm. In addition, or in its place, the primary tobacco material is ideally shredded into strips having a cut width of lower than about 1 mm.
