Abstract: A method of forming homogenized tobacco material is provided, including forming a homogenized slurry including tobacco powder; casting the homogenized slurry onto a moving belt; incorporating a porous reinforcement sheet into the cast homogenized slurry; and drying the cast homogenized slurry with the incorporated porous reinforcement sheet to form the homogenized tobacco material, the porous reinforcement sheet having anisotropic properties such that the porous reinforcement sheet has a higher tensile strength in a longitudinal direction thereof than in a transverse direction thereof.
