主权项

1. A smoking article wherein tobacco is combusted during use, comprising:
a rod comprising a combustible tobacco smoking composition, said combustible tobacco smoking composition comprising tobacco and at least one alkanoylated glycoside of the formula: wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 alkyl groups and H, and R5 is selected from the group consisting of H, a C1-C6 acyl group, a C1-C6 alkyl group, an aroyl group and an aryl group; and
a filter disposed at an end of the rod comprising an activated carbon sorbent which in the absence of said alkanoylated glycoside imparts carbon taste to mainstream smoke during smoking, andwherein said alkanoylated glycoside is present in said rod comprising combustible tobacco smoking composition in an amount ranging from about 100 mg/kg of tobacco to about 300 mg/kg of tobacco such that when said tobacco smoking composition is combusted carbon taste associated with the presence of said activated carbon sorbent is offset.
