ABSTRACT:
A filter cigarette is provided which comprises a tobacco rod which includes a charge of tobacco wrapped in cigarette paper, an integral, axially aligned cylindrical filter plug, and tipping paper. The filter plug is divided into first and second segments with the first segment being rotatable with respect to the second segment. Rotation of the first segment with respect to the second segment, in one embodiment of the invention, serves to vary the air dilution value of the cigarette. In another embodiment, rotation of the first segment with respect to the second segment produces variable resistance-to-draw in the cigarette. Both of the above embodiments can be combined into yet another embodiment to produce a cigarette which maintains a constant resistance-to-draw value as the air dilution value is varied. In yet another embodiment, an encapsulated flavorant is provided which is released responsive to rotation of the first segment with respect to the second segment. The flavorant release embodiment can be combined with the other embodiments.
