Abstract
The coaxial filter cigarette according to the invention contains of a coaxial rod portion and a coaxial filter element. The rod portion contains an inner core of a material glowing or smouldering substantially residue-free, in particular tobacco material, which is surrounded by a wrapper which in turn is surrounded by an outer jacket of a tobacco and/or non-tobacco material. A wrapper of an air-permeable material surrounds the outer jacket. The coaxial filter element has a filter core with an air-impermeable wrapper. A filter jacket having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the outer jacket coaxially surrounds the filter core and its wrapper. An air-impermeable wrapper serving also to connect the rod portion and filter element surrounds the filter jacket. A ventilation zone is worked into the air-impermeable wrapper for the filter jacket. In the transition region between the rod portion and the filter element a smoke mixing zone is formed for defined variation of the smoke mixture leaving the rod portion before it flows into the filter element.
