Abstract

See full text

Tobacco product, consisting of a pre-portioned tobacco supply (15) surrounded by cigarette paper (11; 17) of tubular shape. The tobacco supply is configured as a dimensionally stable tobacco charge of the finished cigarette and is unsmokable by itself but consists completely of smokable material, and it is provided for the self-making of either filterless or filter-tipped cigarettes. Preferably, the tobacco supply (15) comprises an air permeable strand wrapper (13) of smokable material, e.g. of tobacco sheet material. To facilitate insertion of the preformed dimensionally stable tobacco strand (10) into a prefabricated tubular cigarette paper wrapper (11), a funnel-like sleeve (18) is provided whose smaller-diameter end (20) is adapted to be joined to the open end of the tubular cigarette paper wrapper (11). Through this inserting funnel(18) the tobacco strand (10) may be passed without difficulty into the tubular cigarette paper wrapper (11).
