Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0226368A2] A novel cigarette structure is provided which produces an approximately uniform delivery of flavour along its length as the cigarette is smoked. The filler rod of the cigarette has a strip of more highly-flavoured tobacco to one side or to two sides of the rod, with the remainder of the cross-section of the rod being formed of lower flavoured tobacco, and has a higher proportion of the more highly-flavoured tobacco than the lower flavour tobacco at the lighting end. The cigarette filler rod of improved smoking characteristics may be formed by a simplified assembly procedure.
