CIGARETTE AND WRAPPING MATERIALS THEREFOR

摘要

Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive materials, which can have the forms of liquid or paste formulations (e.g., aqueous formulations incorporating starch or modified starch), are applied to a continuous paper web on the cigarette making apparatus. The formulation is applied to the paper web using application apparatus possessing rollers. The water-based formulation is dried after application to the wrapping materials such that the formulation exhibits a moisture content of less than 10 percent based on the weight of the formulation.
