In most well-liked embodiments, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. Even extra preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness from about 0.1 mm to about zero.three mm, most preferably from a sheet material having a thickness of about 0.2 mm. A tobacco reduce filler according to any one of claims 1 to 9, whereby the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips every comprising a minimum of a first strip construction comprising a branching node from which an additional strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the first strip construction. Figures 10 and 12 show two examples of cut strips together with a number of V-shaped construction. Each V construction includes two considerably straight components forming an angle.
A tobacco reduce filler according to any one of many preceding claims, whereby the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. A tobacco cut filler according to any considered one of claims 2 to 4, whereby the second tobacco materials is a natural tobacco leaf materials. An angle of 90 levels was thought-about to be undesirable, in that it might lead basically to a shape fairly much like the shape of Figure 6, and so an angle of 60 degrees was chosen for the “V” parts. Further, the method ideally comprises the step of mixing the minimize first tobacco materials and the minimize second tobacco material.
Even extra ideally, first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize length of no less than about 15 mm. In addition, or instead, the primary tobacco material is preferably shredded into strips having a reduce length of lower than about 60 mm. More ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length of less than about 50 mm. Even more ideally, the primary Fashion tobacco pipe tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize length of less than about forty mm. In most popular embodiments, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut size from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. The time period “sectional cut width” is used in the present specification to describe the side- to-side width of one such portion of a minimize strip of tobacco material.
In some embodiments, tobacco reduce filler in accordance with the invention could also be used in the tobacco rod of a flamable smoking article, such as a filter cigarette, cigarillo or cigar. Alternatively, the reduce filler could additionally be used to offer the tobacco aerosol generating substrate in a distillation based smoking article, or an electrically heated smoking system. Alternatively, the minimize filler could also be used as a roll-your-own or make-your-own product, or free tobacco product for use in a pipe.
Even more preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of a minimum of about zero.2 mm. In addition, or instead, the primary tobacco materials is preferably shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of less than about 1 mm. More ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness of lower than about zero.ninety five mm. Even more preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about zero.85 mm.
