An improved article and method for delivering additive materials or additives, such as flavorings, to a cigarette. Improved delivery of additive material to a cigarette is provided through the use of one or more capsules (10) containing additive material, such as a flavoring ingredient, in a filter area (40) of the cigarette. The The sealed one or more capsules release at least a portion of the additive material from the one or more capsules and expose the additive material to mainstream smoke passing through the filter before or after smoking the cigarette. Subjected to external forces such as crushing by smokers. The sealed capsule provides a barrier between the additive material and other cigarette components, such as a sorbent or filter material, to reduce migration of the additive material to other cigarette components prior to desired use. give.
