Disclosed is a filter element (1) for a cigarette, and a cigarette incorporating such a filter element, comprising an axially extending porous barrier tube (2) of micro-fine fibres. The space therebetween is filled with a porous filtering material (5), and there is an adhesive layer in the form of an adhesive tube (4). The element is crimped between its ends to form a crimp (6) impervious to gas flow but offering porous filter surfaces (8).
