SMOKING ARTICLE

摘要

A smoking article in the form of a cigarette 1 has a filter 4 having a bevelled buccal end surface 2. The bevelled buccal end also provides a predetermined tactile sensory response to a consumer when the cigarette is inserted between their lips. The inclined surface of the bevel end 2 is perceived to have a distinctive, different feel from conventional filters with an orthogonal buccal end. Different buccal ends can be used to distinguish between different types of cigarette. A method of making the bevelled buccal end is described. The distal end may be bevelled such as to prevent tobacco from falling out of the distal end.
