There is provided a smoking article (100) comprising a wrapped rod of smokable material (101);and a filter (102) comprising one or more filter segments(103), wherein the filter is in axial alignment with the wrapped rod of smokable material (101) and abuts the wrapped rod of smokable material (101) at an interface(105). A tipping wrapper (106) circumscribes at least a portion of the filter (102) and attaches the filter (102) to the wrapped rod of smokable material(101). The smoking article (100) further comprises an over-tipping band (107) circumscribing the filter (102) and overlying the tipping wrapper (106) at the upstream end of the filter (102) such that the over-tipping band (107) overlies the interface (105) between the wrapped rod of smokable material and the filter. The over-tipping band (107) is formed of an air impermeable sheet of a non-paper cellulosic material obtained by processing cellulose to form regenerated cellulose fibres. |
