Abstract:
    Tobacco extender material is provided in strand form by contacting tobacco material and/or carbonized material in substantially dry form with a binding agent in substantially dry form, and then subjecting the mixture to a high rate of shear agitation in the presence of a relatively low moisture content. The material so processed is further processed using dry forming techniques in order to provide strands of reconstituted tobacco material and strands of carbonized material. The strands of tobacco extender are useful in the manufacture of cigarettes.
