A non-tobacco smoking product is manufactured from a slurry which is cast into sheets and dried and then cut and mechanically worked to resemble various grades of cigarette or other natural smoking tobacco. A base web or binder material is first prepared. A flavor and aroma providing materials, as well as, combustion and ash forming agents, physical characteristic adjusting agents and finish and color agents are thereafter mixed in various proportions to make the product slurry. A tobacco-like tensile strength permits standard cigar tobacco wrapper manufacturing machinery and standard tobacco handling, standard cigarette packing and standard cigar making equipment to be used handling the non-tobacco smoking product when making cigarettes, cigars or pipe tobacco-substitute products. The manufacturing process for the product may include spraying a finish coating to add to the moisture and aroma of the manufactured sheet, either before or after cutting and mechanical working. The finished non-tobacco product resembles tobacco in aroma, taste, appearance, burn, and smoking moistness. The non-tobacco product may be mixed with tobacco to form a composite product, if desired, or the finished non-tobacco product may later be mixed with tobacco in packaging. |
