The invention relates to a coaxial cigarette comprising a coaxial tobacco rod of a core and a rod periphery which contain different mixtures, the sheaths of the rod core and the rod periphery consisting of combustible material and a filter mouthpiece being provided at one end of the coaxial tobacco rod; according to the invention, the ratio of the draw resistance of the core per unit length to the packing density thereof lies in the range from about 0.13 to about 0.27 mm WC cm.sup.2 /mg whilst the ratio of the draw resistance per unit length of the rod periphery to the packing density thereof lies in the range of about 0.07 to about 0.11 mm WC cm.sup.2 /mg; the filter mouthpiece is a conventional preferably ventilated filter.

Coaxial cigarette

A coaxial filter cigarette with a rod portion having an inner core of material glowing substantially free of residue, in particular tobacco material, a sheath or wrapper for the inner core, an outer shell of tobacco and/or non-tobacco material coaxially surrounding the inner core or its sheath, respectively, a sheath or wrapper for the outer shell, and with a filter portion having a filter core, an air-impermeable sheath or wrapper for the filter core, a filter shell and a sheath or wrapper for the filter shell comprises a zone of the main heat source which is located in the inner core of the rod portion and a zone in which the major part of the aerosol reaching the mouth of the smoker is produced and which is located in the outer shell of the rod portion; the filter portion greatly reduces the combustion gases originating from the inner core of the rod portion and substantially reduces the smoke particles originating from the inner core, whereas the aerosol produced in the outer shell of the rod portion is influenced only slightly or not at all.

Coaxial filter cigarette

A coaxial cigarette comprising an inner core of a material glowing away substantially without residue, in particular tobacco material, with a sheath for the inner core, an outer jacket coaxially surrounding the inner core and its sheath and comprising a tobacco and/or non-tobacco material, and a sheath for the outer jacket, has a diameter of the inner core which lies in the range from 45% to 80% of the outer diameter of the coaxial cigarette; the inner core has a packing density in the range from 300 to 400 mg/cm.sup.3 ; the outer jacket has a packing density in the rnage from 170 to 250 mg/cm.sup.3. The sheath of the inner core has an air permeability of less than 3 ISO units. The outer sheath has a front segment to be lit and a rear mouth-side segment; the front ignition-side segment of the outer sheath contains conventional glow salts and has an air permeability of 15 to 40 ISO units and the rear mouth-side segment of the outer sheath contains no glow salts and has an air permeability of less than 3 ISO units.

A coaxial cigarette comprising an inner core of a material, which glows substantially residue-free, in particular tobacco material, a wrapper for the inner core, an outer jacket which consists of a tobacco and/or non-tobacco material and coaxially surrounds the inner core and its wrapper, and a wrapper for the outer jacket, has a ventilated coaxial filter with a filter core, the internal diameter of which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the inner core, and with a filter jacket; the filter core has an air-impermeable wrapper; the filter jacket has an air-permeable wrapper; the wrapper of the inner core and the wrapper of the outer jacket are provided with glow agents; and the draw resistance of the inner core is lower than the draw resistance of the outer jacket.

A filter tip for a smoking product comprised of a filter rod attached at one end to the smoking product. The filter rod is surrounded by a tip wrapping layer which terminates at a distance from the mouth end of the filter rod. The projecting end of the rod is tapered toward the mouth end. The taper causes smoke drawn through the filter tip to flow out obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the smoking product.

Filter tip for a smoking product

An improved fibrous filter is disclosed which is useful for removing harmful chemicals from tobacco smoke. This filter is characterized as containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## wherein R represents a straight-chain, branched or cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon radical.
