Where OV is the actual % oven volatiles of the sample of tobacco minimize filler and f is a correction factor (0.four for the test indicated). In RYO, the stem can either be separated from the lamina by hand (for hand-stripped tobacco) or the stem and lamina are not separated at all (loose-leaf tobacco) – this type is used for Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s Norwegian RYO brand Tiedemanns. A methodology based on any one of claims 15 to twenty, further comprising adjusting the moisture content of the second tobacco material. A fishbone-shaped strip is shown in Figure 6, whereas Figures 7 and eight present two embodiments of rectangular strips. Abstract The quantity of tobacco which is critical for the correct filling of a cigarette depends on various factors and particularly on the filling weight of tobacco rag at a given strain. Some years ago the ”Centre d’Essais” of the SEITA developed an equipment by which the filling weight being associated to the filling capability could be measured.
By way of example, it is known to supply tobacco cut filler comprising minimize rolled stems having a predetermined rolled thickness and reduce to a predetermined width. In order to enhance the style and burning characteristics of the tobacco stem to be used within the reduce filler, the stems are sometimes first subjected to one or more treatment procedures. In addition, or in its place, it’s recognized to combine a reconstituted tobacco material with the lamina.
A tobacco minimize filler according to any one of the previous claims, wherein the primary tobacco materials is a reconstituted tobacco sheet. Preferably, the cut filler has a filling energy of at least about 3.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 percent oven volatiles. More ideally, the reduce filler has a filling energy of no less than about four cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 p.c oven volatiles. In addition, or instead, the minimize filler ideally has a filling power of lower than about 8 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 percent oven volatiles.
The thickness due to this fact corresponds substantially to the thickness of the tobacco material fed to the slicing or shredding equipment. The thickness of an individual reduce strip may be measured utilizing a standard measuring gadget beneath a microscope. In some embodiments, the thickness of a tobacco material forming the reduce strip could also be substantially constant. In other Filling cut tobacco embodiments, the thickness of the tobacco materials forming the cut strip may differ along the longitudinal direction, along a path perpendicular to the longitudinal course, or alongside both. The thickness of an individual minimize strip is measured at the level alongside the longitudinal path of chopping that yields the most important cross-sectional area.
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 percent oven volatiles. In some notably most well-liked embodiments, the cut filler has a filling energy of from about 3.5 cubic centimetres per gram to about eight cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value of 12.5 p.c oven volatiles. Preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce length of at least about 5 mm. More ideally, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce size of a minimal of about 10 mm.
Flowers and upper leaves are eliminated to encourage the remaining leaves to develop tobacco pipe.
Blending the cut first tobacco material and the minimize second tobacco material.

After some 8-10 weeks, the seedlings are planted within the fields the place they develop for roughly two months.
The values of filling energy are expressed in phrases of corrected cylinder quantity which is the cylinder quantity of the tobacco materials at a reference moisture level of 12.5 percent oven volatiles. The cylinder quantity could also be determined utilizing a Borgwaldt densimeter DD60 or DD60A sort fitted with a measuring head for cut tobacco and a tobacco cylinder container. The term “sinusoidal” is used to explain a cut strip of tobacco material shaped substantially like a portion of a sine wave.
