A method for producing a tobacco extract, comprising:
- (a) providing a first composition comprising a first portion of fresh around tobacco particles;
- (b) subjecting the first composition to high pressure;
- (c) injecting heated purified water through the first composition under high pressure for a predetermined period of time to produce a first aqueous tobacco solution having a first nicotine content;
- (d) adding purified water to the first aqueous tobacco solution;
- (e) heating the first aqueous tobacco solution to form a heated aqueous tobacco solution;
- (f) subjecting a second composition comprising a second portion of fresh ground tobacco particles to high pressure;
- and
- (g) injecting the heated aqueous tobacco solution through the second composition for the predetermined period of time to produce the tobacco extract having a nicotine content greater than the first nicotine content of the first aqueous tobacco solution.
