A smoking article having a tobacco rod adapted to produce mainstream smoke, and a filter having an upstream end portion and a downstream end portion, and wherein the filter is arranged to receive mainstream smoke at the upstream end portion. The filter includes a first filter segment of low particulate efficiency at the upstream end portion; a channeled flow segment adjacent to the first filter segment, the channeled flow segment including a flow channel establishing a substantial portion of a predetermined resistance to draw of the smoking article; a mouthpiece filter segment of low particulate efficiency at the downstream end portion; and a tubular body segment at least partially defining a portion of a cavity between the mouthpiece filter and the channeled flow segment. Tipping paper attaches the filter with the tobacco rod and includes an air-admissible ventilation zone at a location along the tubular body segment.
