Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2497382A1] A smoking article (10) comprises: a tobacco rod (12) circumscribed by an outer wrapper having a plurality of perforations extending through the wrapper; and a filter (14) comprising two or more filter segments(16,18,20) in axial alignment with each other. Adjacent filter segments abut at an interface (22,24) and the two or more filter segments are at least partially circumscribed by a substantially air impermeable plug wrap (26). The filter (14) is circumscribed by a filter wrapper (28) that connects the filter (14) to the tobacco rod (12) wherein the filter wrapper (28) includes one or more circumferential lines of weakness (30a,30b) extending around the filter at a position corresponding to the position of an interface (22,24). The substantially air impermeable plug wrap (26) extends around the interface under the one or more lines of weakness (30a,30b) in the filter wrapper (28).
