Abstract
A cigarette (10) comprises a tobacco rod (12) and a multi-component filter (14) comprising a bed of adsorbent (15) and a flavor-releasing filter segmen t (17) located downstream of the bed of adsorbent (15). In the preferred embodiment, the adsorbent is also flavor-bearing and comprises high surface area, activated carbon (20). As mainstream smoke is drawn through the upstre am portion of the filter (14), gas phase smoke constituents are removed and flavor is released from the adsorbent bed (15). Thereafter additional flavor is released into the mainstream smoke as it passes through the flavor- releasing filter segment (17). Ventilation (24) is provided to limit the amount of tobacco being combusted during each puff and is arranged at a location spaced downstream from the adsorbent bed (15) to lower mainstream smoke velocity through the adsorbent bed (15).
