Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010051076A1] A filtered cigarette (174) includes a smokable rod (186) and a filter element (200), secured to each other using tipping material (208). The tipping material includes at least one flavorant providing a sensory characteristic. The cigarette may include more than one layer of tipping material. An outer layer of tipping material (250) can overlie at least a portion of an underlying inner layer of tipping material, and during use, the outer layer can be removed from the cigarette. Thus, it is provided a cigarette that can be used as such, or that can be adapted by the smoker to provide a different sensory experience (cigarette can be altered by removal of the outer tipping material, and or by provision of a tipping material layer that is treated with a flavorant and/or provides a desirable diffusivity). The use of the outer layer of tipping material can be used to improve the physical integrity of the cigarette.
