A filtered cigarette 174 has a smokable rod 186 and a filter element 200 that are secured together using a tipping material 208. The chipping material has at least one flavorant that provides sensory properties. The cigarette can have more than one layer of tipping material. An outer layer of tipping material 250 can cover at least a portion of the lower inner layer of the tipping material, and this outer layer can be removed from the cigarette in use. Thereby, a cigarette is provided that can be used in that way, i.e. configured to provide a different sensory experience to the smoker (the cigarette is removed by removing the outer tipping material and / or Can be changed by providing a layer of chipping material that is treated with flavoring and / or having the desired diffusivity). This use of the outer layer of tipping material can be used to improve the physical integrity of the cigarette. |
