Abstract:
Smoking articles include a colour shifting marking. The marking may be provided on a wrapper, such as a plug wrap, a smokable material wrap, or a tipping paper wrap. The marking may be produced by a gonichromatic pigment to provide a smooth transition between colours as viewing angles change. The marking may allow a consumer to identify the smoking article as genuine, as opposed to counterfeit.

Abstract:
The machine of the invention, for making adjustably ventilated cigarettes, comprises a unit (30) for turning a first portion (23) of cigarette (3) comprising a first slit (19); the turning unit (30) in turn comprises gripping means (34) for the first portion (23) and retaining means (35) for a second portion (24) of cigarette (3) comprising a second slit (20); the gripping means (34) are capable of imparting torque to the first portion (23) which, by turning about the axis (3a) of the cigarette (3) by a predetermined angle (θ), offsets the first slit (19) relative to the second slit (20), thus causing the second slit (20) to close.
Abstract:
A method of making a smoking article comprises providing a folly or partially fabricated smoking article comprising at least a tobacco rod of tobacco wrapped in cigarette paper; adhering a foldable paper to the cigarette paper such that the foldable paper encircles the tobacco rod and overhangs the cigarette paper at an end of the tobacco rod that is intended to be lit; and folding the overhanging foldable paper to substantially cover the tobacco at the end of the tobacco rod. Various techniques can be employed to apply different lengths of foldable paper to the tobacco rod and to achieve different folding patterns. The folded paper may be inverted by pressing inwardly with a pin or rod after folding to produce a more permanent fold.

Abstract:
Provided is a smoking article (10) including a filter (12), a tobacco rod (14), and a carbon dioxide charge which may be stored on a sorbent (18). The carbon dioxide charge provides increased levels of carbon dioxide during smoking to enhance the taste and sensorial smoking experience.
Abstract:
The machine of the invention for making adjustably ventilated cigarettes having a first portion (23) with a first slit (19) and a second portion (24) with a second slit (20), comprises a first conveyor (30) which is movable along a first feed path (P1 ) and which comprises a plurality of first flutes (32) for receiving the second portions (24) of the cigarettes (3), a second conveyor (31 ) which is movable along a second feed path (P2) substantially parallel to the first path and which comprises a plurality of gripping means (33) having second flutes (34) for retaining the first portions (23) of the cigarettes (3) and movement means (35) for moving the gripping means (33 ) and being capable of imparting torque, during the movement of the two conveyors (30, 31 ), to one of the two portions (23, 24) of the cigarette which, by turning about the axis (3a) of the selfsame cigarette (3) by a predetermined angle (Θ), offsets the first slit (19) relative to the second slit (20), thus causing the second slit (20) to close.
