  • a first form of the product contains hard wood flour as an ingredient.
  • This important ingredient of the product is generated as sanding dust, and obtained typically from commercia sanding operations, wherein white maple and/or white oak are sanded with the grain to provide a fine dust or flour.
  • White oak provides a flour with especially pleasing aroma
  • flour generated by sanding with the grain provides a product which contributes to a steady slow consistent burn of the product and adds to the product's body.
  • Hardwood "pulp" generated by milling, grinding or chopping is a less satisfactory a constituent.
  • the hardwood flour can comprise approximately 18-70% of the product by weight.
  • the hard wood flour contributes to a clean burn, having little resin content, aids in keeping the ash from curling and controls the burn rate.

  • a preferred kind of bentonite is western bentonite mineral colloid 101, available from the Georgia Kaolin Co., Inc., Elizabeth, New Jersey.
  • Flavoring including fruit juices such as prune juice, contribute to the aroma, taste and coloring of the product.
  • a mix of 50% corn syrup and 50% sucrose is prefered. It acts as a binder and a plasticizer of the coals, as well as, a flavor and aroma contributor.
  • One hundred percent corn inverted sugar or alternatively, 100% fructose may be also used. However, as the choice of sweetener changes,the flavoring, aroma and plasticizing characteristics change.
  • Inverted sugar any of the fructoses or other syrups, including any of the sucroses, are added at about 16-30% by weight of the product ingredients.
  • Flavoring comprising about 10-25% by weight of the ingredients, such as Felton 814 supplied by the Felton Flavor Co., Brooklyn, New York, may be added, or used as a substitute for the syrups above.
  • Prune licquer may be added to comprise about 10-25% by weight of the ingredients. It adds flavor and aroma, as well as, acts as a humectant.
  • Coloring may be added as an ingredient to provide a golden brown color. This coloring can comprise up to 1%, by weight, of the ingredients of the product, but, typically, it is added in a range of about..25%-.74%. Coloring ingredients may include F, D, C, yellow No. 5; F, D, C,'blue No. 1; and F, D, C red No. 40.
  • the hard wood flour 11 obtained from sanding
  • the syrup or other plasticizer 13 are added together in a first blender 15.

  • This tobacco 23 is added into the second blender 19 with base web 17 and other ingredients 21.
  • the mixture from the first blender 15 and the second blender 19 are placed into a third blender 25 where the entirety of the ingredients of the composition is mixed together.
  • the output from the blender 25 is sent to a casting box 27 and thereafter formed into a sheet 30 of the composition by being cast or extruded as a slurry layer onto a moving stainless steel conveyor belt 29.
  • This material, in sheet form 30, is carried through drying ovens 31 and then on to a moisture control step 33 where either water mist or a prune juice mist is sprayed onto the surface of the dried product sheet 30 to regulate its moisture.
  • a knife 35 removes the sheet 30, whereinafter it is placed into a rotary dryer 37.
  • the sheet 30 may be texturized by mechanical working, either in the rotary dryer 37 or as part of a texturizing and shredding operation 39 carried out by a shredder-texturizer 39.
  • the sheets 30 are cut into squares in the operation 39.
  • the squares or wafers can be from 1 inch by 1 inches square to 2 inches by 2 inches square. Typically, the sheet 30 is 5.5.mils thick.

  • Titanium dioxide may also be mixed with the prune juice or prune syrup when it is sprayed 33 on the surface of the product.
  • the present invention departs considerably from other forms of material used as natural tobacco substitutes or tobacco supplements. It differs in that hardwood flour must be provided by sanding when the grain, i.e. cellular structure of the wood is not completely destroyed. If hard wood pulp which is provided by grinding, chopping or beating is used, the product acquires less desirable characteristics, as the sheet tends to curl and the burn characteristics degenerate. Hardwood flour, especially that provided from white maple or white oak, being very low in natural resin, and not bleached or refined by an acedic or caustic solution, provides a product which does not curl up when burning. It promotes a steady, slow burn similar to natural tobacco and provides an ash which clings similar to natural tobacco.
  • the final slurry which is pumped from the third blender 25 to the casting box 27 and then extruded/cast onto the continuous stainless steel belt 29 to form the sheet 30 is at ambient temperatures throughout.
  • This sheet 30 is then passed through a series of drying ovens 31 at temperatures between 100 o C and 300°C.
  • the moisture content of the sheet 30 is then judged, and if it is too dry, it is sprayed with a fine water mist on its upper surface at the moisture control point 33.

  • the bulk product 41 produced has a weight, thickness and texture similar to that of natural tobacco and has a tensile strength in the range of which approaches that of natural tobacco. These physical characteristics allow the product to be further handled and packaged with standard tobacco handling equipment 43.
  • the product 41 can also have a surface coating of potassium chloride or calcium carbonate which is added to the prune syrup or prune juice 33 sprayed as a surface coating.
  • Polypropylene glycol can be also added to the sheet. However, polypropylene glycol should not be present in a concentration of greater than 3% by weight.
  • a hardwood recipe which provides excellent smoking product is as follows:
  • the hardwood recipe above, following the shredding and texturizing step 39 ma be subjected to being sprayed by a finish coating 44.
  • This finish coating 44 is sprayed to a single side of the product whether it is still in its uncut form (sheet 30) or in its shredded form (bulk product 41), this finish coating 44 contains prune concentrate syrup loaded with titanium dioxide and flavoring such as Felton flavor 814.
  • the prune syrup may also be loaded with sodium bicarbonate or potassium chloride or calcium carbonate or any combination of these, and also with propylene glycol.
