SMOKING ARTICLE HAVING TOBACCO FILTER

摘要

A device for manufacturing cigar filters out of expanded Cut Rolled Stem tobacco and reconstituted tobacco is provided. The device includes a machine hopper wherein the expanded Cut Rolled Stem tobacco is added. A suction chamber the pulls the expanded Cut Rolled Stem tobacco out of the machine hopper and deposits onto a suction band to form a tobacco stream. Reconstituted tobacco is then added to the tobacco stream, which is then moved through a pencil paster that forms the tobacco stream into a cylinder and adds an adhesive. The adhesive binds the tobacco stream together into a cylindrical shape when heat is applied to activate the adhesive. A cutting section of the device cuts the cylindrical shaped tobacco stream into a desirable length for a cigar filter.
