ABSTRACT:
A cigarette filter connected to a tobacco rod is provided with air dilution holes which extend radially into the fibrous material of the filter to a depth of about 1.0 to about 4.0 millimeters. When a smoker draws on the cigarette, air admitted into the air dilution holes flows to a central or core region of the filter and thence to the smoker's mouth. Mainstream smoke from the tobacco rod flows into the filter and is diverted to an annular region surrounding the core region.
