ABSTRACT:
A cigarette having a circumference of about 25 mm includes a rod of tobacco cut filler having a circumference of about 12.5 mm which is in turn circumscribed by an air permeable insulating material. The tobacco cut filler has a packing density of less than about 400 mg/cm.sup.3. The insulating material comprises a fibrous material (e.g., glass fibers), and has a radial thickness of greater than about 0.25 mm, and often greater than about 0.5 mm. The insulating material is in turn circumscribed by a paper wrapping material having a low air permeability (e.g., less than about 15 CORESTA units). The cigarette includes a filter element at one end. The cigarette yields low levels of visible sidestream smoke.
