The present invention relates to an elongated smoking article that extends in a longitudinal direction and comprises a cylindrical smoking body with a combustible material that is surrounded by a wrapping paper. The smoking article further comprises a filter element that is configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element from the burning smoking body. A first base area of the filter element faces a base area of the smoking body and a second base area is an open base area. A tipping paper is circumscribing the smoking body and the filter element and is attached to external surfaces of the smoking body and the filter element. A flavoring is disposed in or on the tipping paper spaced apart from the second base area in the longitudinal direction and with a distribution that varies in a longitudinal direction of the tipping paper.

Elongated smoking article

The present invention relates to an elongated smoking article () () that extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and comprises a cylindrical smoking body () with a combustible material () that is surrounded by a wrapping paper (). The smoking article () further comprises a filter element () that is configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element () from the burning smoking body (). A tipping paper () is circumscribing the smoking body () and the filter element () and is attached to external surfaces () of the smoking body () and the filter element (). According to the invention, a flavoring () is disposed in or on the tipping paper () with a distribution that varies in a circumferential direction (C) of the tipping paper (), such that the amount and/or type of flavoring () contacting a smoker's lips () depends on a rotational state of the elongated smoking article () with respect to the circumferential direction (C).

An apparatus () for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco comprises a base (), a magazine chamber () adapted to receive a supply of tobacco (T), a lid () adapted to close a top of the magazine chamber (), a filling chamber () adapted to receive the tobacco to be filled into a cigarette tube, a stamp () adapted to shape the tobacco of the filling chamber (), and a slider arranged in the filling chamber () which transfers the tobacco of the filling chamber () into a cigarette tube supported in front of the filling chamber (). A press-down lever () is connected to the stamp () and to a coupling mechanism in order to move the slider after actuation of the stamp (). A pusher for forwarding the tobacco in the magazine chamber can also be coupled to the press-down lever.
