A method of producing a smokable material containing tobacco by-products, such as stems or stalks, having reduced particulate matter, particularly, tar and nicotine, and which additionally has no undesirable "woody taste" is disclosed. The method for producing this smokable material comprises subjecting tobacco by-products material to pyrolysis, adding the pyrolyzed material to a tobacco-parts slurry, homogenizing the slurry, drying and processing the resultant reconstituted product to a form desired for the smoking material. The smoking material obtained by such method is also described. |
