A cigarette (10) with a multicomponent filter (14), in which the sorbent-containing segment (15) at the inlet extracts at least one component from the tobacco smoke inhaled by the smoker passing through the filter, and the aromatic segment (17) located further downstream of the stream direction compensates for the loss of taste on the sorbent. The aroma component (27) releases the volatile constituents of the aroma into the smoke inhaled by the smoker at ambient conditions. |
