A B S T R A C T Bales and/or packs of dried tobacco leaves, parts of tobacco leaves and/or reconstituted tobacco, which are compacted for convenience of shipment from the maker to the processor, must be broken up prior to the making of cigarettes, cigars or cigarillos by separating the particles from each other. This is accomplished in part by subjecting the bales, packs, portions of bales and/or portions of packs to the action of microwaves which are furnished by adjustable microwave generators and enhance the tendency of the particles to become separated by reducing the force with which the particles adhere to each other. The bales and/or packs can be transported past a battery of microwave generators, and the temperature of the bales and/or packs is monitored to adjust the microwave generators when the temperature is outside of a preselected range. The treatment by microwave generators is followed by a mechanical treatment which ensures permanent separation of particles from each other, and the mechanically separated particles are thereupon introduced into a moistening apparatus.
