Tobacco leaf is processed into a form suitable for use in the manufacture of cigarettes by first cutting the leaf into strips, air classifying the strips into a lamina fraction and a stem fraction, threshing the stem fraction to separate lamina associated with the stem, and cutting the lamina strips and the separated lamina into shreds. The stem also may be processed for blending with the lamina shreds.
