Likely to be a sand and lime mix or possibly a very weak sand cement mix, nothing too strong either way. It's called torching by the way and its purpose is really to stop rain and snow blowing up between the tiles rather than fixing the tiles in any way and is made weak to allow for easy cleaning and reuse of the tiles if the roof gets stripped.
