Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3861868A1] Provided is a method of manufacturing a smoking article that has a functional segment, a tobacco rod, a cooling segment, and a filter segment, including (A) preparing a segment A that contains a double-length functional segment, which has a double length of the functional segment, and the tobacco rods at either end of the double-length functional segment; (C) preparing a pair of the cooling segments and placing the cooling segments in contact with either end of the segment A to prepare a segment C; (D) cutting and separating the segment C in the central part in the longitudinal direction to prepare a pair of segments D and inverting the segments D, thereby placing the segments D via a gap to align the longitudinal axes of the segments D and allow the cooling segments to face each other; (E) preparing a double-length filter segment, which has a double length of the filter segment, and placing the double-length filter segment in the gap such that both ends of the double-length filter segment come into contact with the end on the cooling segment side of either of the segments D, thereby preparing a segment E; (F) integrating the segment E by wrapping in one tipping paper to produce a double-length smoking article, which has a double length of the smoking article; and (G) cutting the double-length smoking article in the central part in the longitudinal direction to yield smoking articles.
