A system and method for reclaiming tobacco from rejected products and byproducts of a cigarette manufacturing operation are disclosed. The tobacco that is reclaimed from rejected cigarettes, long ends and defective packs of cigarettes is screened to separate a fraction of larger tobacco particles that can be returned directly to the cigarette manufacturing machines. The fraction of smaller tobacco particles and fines produced by the screening treatment is combined with stem material and tobacco dust recovered from the manufacturing operation to produce strands of reconstituted tobacco which are incorporated into the cut tobacco that is supplied to the cigarette manufacturing machines.
