<p>The disclosure is of a process for reducing the moisture content of expanded tobacco while minimizing yield losses and reducing particle lamination while maintaining filling power. The process comprises drying the expanded tobacco at a temperature within the range of from about 250 DEG F. to about 650 DEG F. in the presence of an absolute humidity at a level above that which will provide a wet-bulb temperature of at least about 150 DEG F.</p> |
