Abstract
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).
