Definitions

• nicotine which is one of the natural alkaloids of tobacco, is a violent poison which is soluble in alcohol, in ether and in gasoline.
• the present invention diminishes these disadvantages and is characterized by the fact that tannin, that is to say digallic acid, is dissolved in a suitable solvent, which may be alcohol, and is adapted to clean pipes and cigarette holders.
• a suitable solvent which may be alcohol
• This tannin reacts with the nicotine accumulated in the pipes or the cigaretteholders at the moment at which the nicotine dissolves in the alcohol, to form an insoluble harmless compound which eventually falls to'the bottom of the container in which one soaksflthe cleaners used to frictionally remove the accumulated nicotine, and in which the insoluble compound which results from the reaction between the nicotine and part of thetannin contained in the alcoholic solution then accumulates.
• the aroma of the tannin which has not reacted with the nicotine and which remains in the alcoholic solution, as well as the aroma of the impurities from said vegetative products masks that of the normal impurities in the alcohol when these different impurities, after vaporization of said alcohol, impregnate the material of which the pipes and cigarette holders are made, thus considerably reducing the deterioration in the natural aroma of the tobacco smoke.
• the tannin in solution in the alcohol is obtained by macerating the sawdust of very old briar root which has been perfectly dried.
• the volume of sawdust is preferably between onefourth and onehalf the volume of the alcoholic solvent.
• the total quantity of tannin dissolved in the alcohol must be sufficient to be able to react with the quantity of nicotine accumulated, but, on the other hand, if this concentration is too great it may also impair the aroma of the tobacco smoke, in the absence of a small quantity of essential oil of the tobacco flower capable of overcoming this disadvantage.
• the product according to the invention may be used to preventively impregnate the superficial pores of the passageways of these pipes or cigarette holders so that, after complete evaporation of the solvent used, the particles of tannin dissolved therein are deposited on the walls of these pores.
• the nicotine contained in the smoke instead of being immediately frictionally deposited upon walls of these passageways is at least partially neutralized by the presence of the tannin retained in said pores and is transformed into an inoffensive. product, .thus' delaying the moment at which nicotine itself is off the solution thus obtained.
