Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ventilated filter cigarette with a predominant "American blend" taste and is based on the task of proposing such a cigarette exclusively based on Virginia tobacco varieties, the main stream smoke of which contributes a condensate / nicotine ratio of 5: 1 to 9: 1 a condensate value according to DIN 10240 of at most 10 mg, a pH value of over 6.0 and a pollutant index (SI) according to Herzfeld below 35.
  • SI pollutant index
  • Cigarettes with the typical "American blend" taste are preferred by certain consumer groups, but because of the Burley tobacco used, they have the disadvantage that, because of the higher protein content, they give rise to more disruptive factors with regard to the aroma and additionally have a significantly higher nitrate content. This leads to a relatively high pollutant index according to Herzfeld.
  • a high filter ventilation can result in such a dilution of the main flow smoke that the values determined according to the standards result in low condensate and nicotine values and a low pollutant index.
  • such cigarettes have the disadvantage of a low tobacco taste, an aroma deficit, show a low degree of saturation and consequently have only a low level of consumer acceptance.
  • the task mentioned at the outset is also intended to achieve a ventilated filter cigarette with low condensate values, and in particular a low pollutant index, without having to accept the disadvantages known to the person skilled in the art, such as low tobacco taste, aroma deficit, low degree of saturation and thus a poor level Consumer acceptance for relatively production-intensive measures.
  • volume-activated tobacco mixture with appropriately adapted strand equipment and strand density, through the use of an inexpensive filter with high draw resistance and preferably a monoacetate filter with high retention capacity with the resulting high cigarette end draw resistance Selection of natural Virginia tobacco of high quality with a high nicotine and sugar content, which result in a low pollutant index with a high degree of saturation even with a relatively low degree of filter ventilation, whereby - completely unexpected for the expert - an intensive "American blend" flavor with exclusive use from virgin Virginia tobacco.
  • the nicotine content of natural Virginia tobacco influences the taste component "reaction” or “strength” and is in the range of 1.7 to 2.3%, based on the dry substance, of conventional cigarettes.
  • a high to unusually high nicotine content of 2 to 3.5% by weight is intentionally provided.
  • the packing density of the filling tobacco for standard cigarettes is in a range from 220 to 280 mg / cm3, corresponding to a cigarette hardness range of approx. 2.5 to 1.9 mm ET (test stamp penetration depth) according to the Reemtsma hardness measuring device, which in principle is digital -Densimeter DD-30 (with cigarette equipment) from Heinrich Borgwaldt / Hamburg.
  • a "sharper" taste With a low packing density in the lower range of 150 mg / cm 3, a "sharper" taste generally arises, while in the usual range from 220 to 280 mg, the strand absorption increases and thus suppresses or levels out the "sharper” taste by practically additional filter action. This can also apply to other taste impressions.
  • the air permeability of the cigarette paper in CORESTA values according to DIN / ISO 2965 for commercially available cigarettes is in a range from 25 to 70, with low CORESTA values only a low smoldering ability and only a little ventilation, and consequently only a small dilution of the smoke by the Cigarette paper is given, while at high CORESTA values a high glow rate is made possible with strong ventilation.
  • this parameter is set below the market range of at least 25 CORESTA, namely to a value of 3 to 20.
  • fine-titer cellulose acetate filters provided with conventional hardnesses are used without additives which change the taste, but the parameters to be observed here are also of considerable influence.
  • the individual titer of the filter material is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 denier, it being known that a low individual titer of approximately 1.3 denier results in a relatively high sorption and a relatively large retention with a relatively high tensile resistance, while correspondingly higher denier numbers with otherwise the same parameters lead to lower sorption and lower retention and lower tensile resistance.
  • the individual titer for the cigarettes according to the invention is in a range from 1.3 to 2.5 denier, that is to say below the customarily used single titer.
  • the total titer influencing the absolute tensile resistance is in the range of 32,000 to 40,000 denier for standard cigarettes, whereby the absolute sorption or retention or the absolute tensile resistance - neglecting the ripple index - is directly proportional to the total titer.
  • the resulting filter draw resistance is in the range of 50 to 70 daPa for commercially available cigarettes and results in a correspondingly small change in taste at low values and a clear change in taste towards "light" at higher values.
  • the extremely low individual titer values over the total titer required according to the invention which are preferably in the range from 40,000 to 55,000 denier, are in a deliberately high, unusual range in the cigarette according to the invention at 95-160 daPa.
  • the degree of additional air ie the ratio of additional air to main flow smoke, is in the range of 10 to 50% for standard cigarettes; an increase in the supply air to, for example, 75% results in a strong change in taste in the direction of "super-mild".
  • the supply air is at a filter ventilation level of 20 to 45%, that is to say in a medium range.
  • the final pull resistance of the majority of commercially available filter cigarettes is in a range from 80 to 120 daPa. With conventional light cigarettes, higher ultimate tensile resistances have an unusual and therefore negative effect on consumers.
  • the final pull resistance of 100 to 160 daPa selected for the cigarette according to the invention is intentionally in the upper range in order to influence the pollutant index. Surprisingly, however, the unusually high final pull resistance of the cigarette according to the invention was not perceived as negative in in-house tests.
  • Trial cigarettes were made from pure Virginia tobacco without flavor-changing additives and without flavorings, but with the usual proportions of a humectant.
  • the tobacco feed weight of the strands produced in the usual format was 690 mg; the cigarette paper used had a permeability of 20 CORESTA units; the packing density of the filling tobacco was set to 220 mg / cm3, the strand having a well-stuffed degree of filling with a usual hardness value of 2.2 mm ET.
  • the hardness of standard cigarettes measured with the same hardness measuring device is between 1.9 and 2.5 mm ET in a standard climate.
  • a monoacetate filter with a titer of 1.5 Y / 46,000 SK denier was used as the filter, its tensile resistance being 21 mm in length and approximately 7.8 mm in diameter being approximately 118 daPa.
  • the format of the finished filter cigarette was 7.90 mm ⁇ x 84 mm in length; the degree of additional air was 37% and the final pull resistance was 130 daPa.
  • the cigarette smoked according to DIN 10240 produced 7.95 mg condensate and 1.0 mg nicotine with a number of 10 puffs, which corresponded to a K / N ratio of approx. 8: 1.
  • the pH of this cigarette was 6.4. In view of the typical smoke pH value of a Virginia cigarette of at most 5.5, this value is exceptionally high.
  • a tobacco stick made of the same natural Virginia tobacco mixture with the same packing density was used with a cigarette paper with the same low air permeability of 20 CORESTA, but with a conventional ventilated cellulose acetate filter with medium single and total titer and corresponding medium tensile resistance and a consequent result medium filter retention, but with a comparatively high degree of filter ventilation, i.e. a high smoke dilution.
  • This cigarette which was smoked in accordance with DIN 10240, produced condensate values comparable to those of the filter cigarette according to Example 1. With a cigarette of this type, as was actually expected, there was no typical "American blend" taste; it tasted significantly like Virginia tobacco, albeit fuller and more aromatic than a conventional Virginia cigarette.
  • Example 1 In a further sensory comparison test, a filter according to Example 1 was combined with a conventional Virginia strand, a clear Virginia taste note being obtained, but the taste performance being unsatisfactory and weak.
