Tobacco compositions

A smokeless tobacco product comprising:

• a unitary porous insoluble matrix having interstices, the unitary porous insoluble matrix including open cell polyurethane foam;
• and
• a tobacco composition coated on the unitary porous insoluble matrix, the tobacco composition including,
• sodium alginate,
• calcium salt,
• a plasticizer, and
• a non-combustible tobacco configured to be orally consumed and having an average particle size of less than or equal to about 250 μm,
• wherein the tobacco composition forms a coating that saturates and uniformly covers all of the interstices of the unitary porous insoluble matrix, and
• wherein the smokeless tobacco product has a maximum dimension ranging from about 5 mm to about 15 mm.
