Zusammenfassung:A reconstituted tobacco sheet having a high content of aerosol former therein is manufactured by preparing an aqueous slurry containing a tobacco material which is formed into a sheet. The moisture content of the sheet can be reduced to less than about 50% by weight before incorporating an aerosol former such as glycerin, which can be at a temperature below about 40° C., followed by drying the sheet. The sheet can be trashed, blended with natural tobacco strips, and shredded into a cut filler of a smoking article.
