A filtered cigarette includes a smokable rod and a filter element. The smokable rod is secured to the filter element using tipping material. 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 can overlie at least a portion of an underlying inner layer of tipping material, and during use by the smoker, the outer layer can be removed from the cigarette. Thus, it is possible for a cigarette manufacturer to provide a cigarette that can be used as such by the smoker, or that can be adapted by the smoker to provide a different sensory experience (e.g., the visual, organoleptic, trigeminal, aromatic, and tactile characteristics of the 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. |

The invention is concerned with a wrapped cigarette and a method of producing the wrapper. A very highly porous wrapping paper, with an air porosity within the range from 2,450 to 20,000cm.sup.3 min.sup.-1 10cm.sup.-2 10cmWG.sup.-1 is produced by perforation from a base paper having a tensile breaking strength of not less than 85 g per mm width of paper. The means number of perforations is suitably within the range from 10 to 150 per cm.sup.2 of the paper and the mean diameter within the range from 30 to 200 microns. A cigarette wrapped in the highly porous paper may advantageously be provided with a tobacco-smoke filter having a filtration efficiency for nicotine within the range of 15 to 30%. |
