Zusammenfassung:A process for preparing tobacco stem for use as filler for a smoking article comprises classifying the green tobacco stem by diameter to provide a plurality of stem grades and rolling each stem grade separately, each grade being rolled under rolling conditions optimised for that grade. The yield of flat rolled stem which may be used directly as filler is increased, and the average stem length and thus the average length of cut filler from stem is increased. The logistics of tobacco transport and handling are also improved.
