A flavoured article 1 for application to a combustible portion 10 of a smoking article 9 does not substantially envelop the combustible material of the smoking article. The flavoured article 1 may be a patch with an adhesive layer for adhering to the outer surface of the smoking article 9. The patch 1 may be self-adhesive. The patch 1 may be applied in any desired orientation, e.g. lengthwise to enable a sustained mild flavour for the user (as shown), or circumferentially around the smoking article (figure 4) to enable a more intense burst of stronger flavour to the user. When the smoking article 9 is lit, the flavoured article 1 preferably burns, and the flavour is thus released. A method of making the flavoured article is also described, and comprises the manufacture of a matrix layer (2, figures 1 & 2) to which an adhesive layer (3, figures 1 &2) is added. Separate matrix, flavourant and adhesive layers may be provided (figure 2). The flavourant may be menthol.
