In specific, one such strip might comprise no less than a first strip construction comprising a branching node from which an extra strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the primary strip construction. The moisture content material of the tobacco cut filler is expressed herein as “% oven volatiles”, which is decided by measuring the percentage weight loss from the reduce filler upon drying the fabric in an oven at 103 degrees Centigrade (°C) for a hundred minutes. It is assumed that a big majority of the load loss from the minimize filler results from the evaporation of moisture. A technique based on any considered one of claims 15 to 17, wherein the second tobacco material is a reconstituted tobacco sheet.
By means of instance, it is known to supply tobacco reduce filler comprising reduce rolled stems having a predetermined rolled thickness and minimize to a predetermined width. In order to improve the taste and burning characteristics of the tobacco stem for use within the reduce filler, the stems are sometimes first subjected to a quantity of remedy procedures. In addition, or as an alternative, it’s known to combine a reconstituted tobacco materials with the lamina.
In other embodiments, the minimize size distribution among the many reduce strips of the primary tobacco materials may be multimodal, together with particularly bimodal and trimodal. The “reduce length” of a strip of cut tobacco materials for incorporation in minimize fillers in accordance with the present invention refers again to the most dimension of the strip of the tobacco materials Filling cut tobacco resulting from the cutting operation, that is the most measurable distance between two factors on the minimize strip. When looking at a reduce strip underneath a microscope, it’ll generally be attainable to watch the direction alongside which the minimize strip extends over such greater length .
More ideally, the cut filler has a filling power of lower than about 7 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 % oven volatiles. In some particularly most well-liked embodiments, the cut filler has a filling power of from about three.5 cubic centimetres per gram to about 8 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value of 12.5 p.c oven volatiles. Preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize size of no less than about 5 mm. More preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut length of a minimum of about 10 mm.
Where OV is the actual % oven volatiles of the sample of tobacco cut filler and f is a correction factor (0.four for the take a look at indicated). In RYO, the stem can either be separated from the lamina by hand (for hand-stripped tobacco) or the stem and lamina aren’t separated at all (loose-leaf tobacco) – this type is used for Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s Norwegian RYO brand Tiedemanns. A methodology based on any certainly one of claims 15 to 20, additional comprising adjusting the moisture content of the second tobacco material. A fishbone-shaped strip is shown in Figure 6, whereas Figures 7 and eight show two embodiments of rectangular strips. Abstract The amount of tobacco which is important for the correct filling of a cigarette is dependent upon various factors and significantly on the filling weight of tobacco rag at a given pressure. Some years ago the ”Centre d’Essais” of the SEITA developed an equipment by which the filling weight being related to the filling capacity can be measured.
