Abstract (en)

A process of preparing a tobacco-related blend and packaging the blend in receptacles is described. The blend includes at least two components, at least one of the components including tobacco. In the process, the components are supplied from separate storage areas and fed to a filling station adapted to fill respective retail-sized receptacles with a predetermined amount of the blend. After a predetermined amount of each component of the blend has been filled into a common container, the blend is homogenised in the container. Preferably, the container is the retail-sized receptacle, e.g. a can, or the homogenised blend is filled from the container into the receptacle, e.g. a soft pouch.
