Should one such particle break at a location in the central V-shaped portion, the two ensuing elements of the particles would still be effectively V-shaped. The highest CCV values have been obtained for cut specification no. 3, which substantially corresponds to particles having a Y-shape. However, it was found that when particles were produced from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco based on reduce specification no. 3 are produced, a major fraction of the tobacco material went to waste. These correspond to the shapes illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, respectively, for which the values of CCV listed in the following Table 3 were measured. Tobacco cut fillers based on the present invention could also be prepared by a method comprising providing a primary tobacco materials and chopping the first tobacco material in accordance with a primary minimize specification setting no less than predetermined first minimize width and first minimize size. Tobacco cut filler in accordance with the present invention may be included into quite lots of smoking articles.
In follow, one such minimize strip could additionally be described as roughly wave-shaped or zigzag-shaped. Accordingly, geometric parameters corresponding to the peak amplitude, peak-to-peak amplitude, interval of a sine wave could additionally be used to explain the shape of one such reduce strips. A tobacco minimize filler includes a first tobacco materials minimize in accordance with a primary reduce specification, wherein the primary cut specification sets a minimum of predetermined first minimize width and first cut length. A tobacco minimize filler according to any one of the previous claims, whereby the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut width from about 0.2 mm to about 1 mm.
Even extra preferably, first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize size of no much less than about 15 mm. In addition, or instead, the primary tobacco materials is preferably shredded into strips having a minimize length of less than about 60 mm. More preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize size of less than about 50 mm. Even more preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce size of lower than about 40 mm. In most well-liked embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. The term “sectional reduce width” is used within the current specification to explain the side- to-side width of one such portion of a reduce strip of tobacco materials.
In flip, the third Y-shaped construction comprises a third branching node from which an oblong structure branches off. In the embodiments of both Figures 9 and 1 1 the sectional reduce width inside all of the constructions forming the cut strips is substantially fixed. By method of example, in a Y-shaped strip it’s potential to establish a first strip portion extending along a first direction and a second and third strip parts extending from the primary strip portions alongside diverging directions, so that they kind an angle.
The yield of flat rolled stem which can be used directly as filler is increased, and the average stem length and thus the typical size of minimize filler from stem is increased. A tobacco cut filler according to any one of the preceding claims having a filling power of a minimum of 3.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 p.c oven volatiles. Accordingly, tobacco particles were ready from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco in accordance with the cut specification illustrated in Figure 12, whereby the cut width SCW1 is of 0.9 millimetres, the cut length CL1 is of 4.ninety four millimetres and the worldwide width CW1 is of 12.50 millimetres.
More preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize width of no much less than about 0.25 mm. Even more preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize width of a minimal of about zero.three mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the primary tobacco material is preferably shredded into strips having a reduce width of less than about 1 mm.
In addition or as an alternative, the tactic may additional comprise a step of adjusting the moisture content material of the second tobacco material. A home-made cigarette made utilizing fine-cut tobacco may be referred to as both a Roll-Your-Own or a Make-Your-Own. This depends on whether or not it is rolled by hand using paper and tobacco, or whether it’s made using a cigarette-tube filling machine. Several different tobacco blends, totally different curing technique and cutting methods are used to make cigarettes. Cutting the first Fashion tobacco pipe tobacco material in accordance with a primary minimize specification setting at least predetermined first cut width and first reduce length. [newline]A smoking article comprising a rod of a tobacco reduce filler in accordance with any one of claims 1 to thirteen. Figures 9 and 1 1 illustrate two examples of strips having a extra complex, “hybrid” shape, wherein strip constructions having the identical or completely different form substantially department off one another.
