Conventionally, reduce filler tobacco merchandise for smoking articles are formed predominantly from the lamina portion of the tobacco leaf, which is separated from the stem portion of the leaf during a threshing process. Much of the stem portion that remains Filling cut tobacco after the lamina has been eliminated and separated isn’t used. However, it’s not uncommon to add some tobacco stems back into the cut filler along with the lamina.
More preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut width of less than about 0.ninety five mm. Even more ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce width of lower tobacco pipe than about zero.9 mm. In preferred embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut width from about zero.2 mm to about 1 mm. Preferably, the second tobacco materials is a natural tobacco leaf material.
More ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut width of no much less than about zero.25 mm. Even extra preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut width of a minimal of about zero.three mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the primary tobacco material is ideally shredded into strips having a minimize width of less than about 1 mm.
Even more ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of at least about zero.2 mm. In addition, or as an alternative, 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 primary 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 materials having a thickness of lower than about zero.85 mm.
Even more preferably, first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce length of no less than about 15 mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the first tobacco materials is ideally shredded into strips having a minimize length of lower than about 60 mm. More preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut length of less than about 50 mm. Even extra preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length of less than about forty mm. In most well-liked embodiments, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut length from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. The time period “sectional reduce width” is used within the current specification to describe the side- to-side width of 1 such portion of a reduce strip of tobacco material.
