FLAVORS

 

When applied to the tobacco, they will promote the product’s identity, either by its aromatic profile or by its smoking profile. They are developed according to each request and can be customized accordingly to your needs. Furthermore, all customized flavors, once developed and approved by the client, will always be linked only to that client. We value your exclusivity.

CASINGS

 

Given the tobacco curing process, it is necessary to return to the tobacco leaves some of the sugar lost in their processing. They are also used to correct the smoking profile, either by characteristics of the smoke itself or to reduce unwanted effects. They are developed in a customized way to meet your needs.

ADDITIVES

 

They can be discriminated into flavor additives or casing additives and are formulated according to the needs of each blend/casing/aroma. They have different applications, being used mainly to correct, or harmonize tobacco.

RECONSTITUTED TOBACCO

 

10×10 Squares, Cut Filler: Not only it is a viable alternative for cost reducing, but it can also be used for the correction of contents and balance for the cigarette smoke profile. 

The great advantage of IOTO’s TREX process is that, unlike other processes, it presents a very good sensory quality. It is produced from any tobacco by-product (fibers, scraps, dust, etc.) and accepts the addition of different types of flavors.

VEGETABLE FILMS – BOBBINS

 

The production of tobacco bobbins supplies the market of the so-called Blunt Wraps, as well as the production of bobbins for Heat-Not-Burn products, a new technology in the tobacco sector.

NON-TOBACCO VEGETABLE FILMS

 

 

Like tobacco bobbins, non-tobacco vegetable films can also be used for the Blunt Wraps market, with the difference being that several bases can be incorporated without the presence of tobacco, hence, nicotine. Commonly found bases are: Cocoa, chamomile, sage, yerba mate, clove and hibiscus, however, various flavor blends and combinations of vegetable bases can be made.
