Abstract
A flavoured article 1 for application to a combustible portion 10 of a smoking article 9 does not substantially envelop the combustible material of the smoking article. The flavoured article 1 may be a patch with an adhesive layer for adhering to the outer surface of the smoking article 9. The patch 1 may be self-adhesive. The patch 1 may be applied in any desired orientation, e.g. lengthwise to enable a sustained mild flavour for the user (as shown), or circumferentially around the smoking article (figure 4) to enable a more intense burst of stronger flavour to the user. When the smoking article 9 is lit, the flavoured article 1 preferably burns, and the flavour is thus released. A method of making the flavoured article is also described, and comprises the manufacture of a matrix layer (2, figures 1 & 2) to which an adhesive layer (3, figures 1 &2) is added. Separate matrix, flavourant and adhesive layers may be provided (figure 2). The flavourant may be menthol.
Description
Flavoured article, preparation and uses thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates generally to a flavoured article, preparation and uses thereof and in particular to a flavoured article for application to a smoking article. In use, the flavour will he released when the smoking article is lit and the flavoured article is combusted.
Background
to Flavour and aroma are important characteristics of smoking articles and a number of methods have been used to incorporate flavourants. If permitted under local regulations, flavourants can be applied to smoking articles by the smoker after purchase, and this confers the significant advantage that the smoker can choose to apply a variety of flavours or aromas to a single "unflavoured" cigarette, Is circumventing the need to buy multiple flavoured cigarettes.
Summary
Previous methods that have been proposed to apply fiavourant to a smoking article after purchase include injecting a tiavourant-containing solution into the tobacco, or infusing the smoking article with aromatic vapours.
However, many of these methods of application require the usc of a separate tool, for example to inject the solution into the tobacco. It may be desirable to simplify the application as far as possible.
For example, US 2005/0072437 relates to a smoking kit comprising smoking articles and wrapping sheets to roll around the smoking articles, and discloses wrapping sheets that contain olfactory and/or gustatory characteristics, such as natural or artificial flavourings and/or scent. These wrapping sheets can be wrapped around the exterior of the tobacco rod section of the smoking article by the smoker, and thus when the smoking article is smoked the flavourant is released.
Tlowever, it is very difficult for the smoker to apply such a wrapping sheet to a conventional smoking article owing to the large surface area of the wrapping sheet when conpared with the surface area of the tobacco rod of the smoking article, and as a consequence the Wrapping sheet is awkward to apply. Furthermore, as the adhesive is positioned along one of the longitudinal borders of the wrapping sheet, it is a requirement that the wrapping sheet is wrapped at least once around the smoking article, in order to affix the wrapping sheet to itself. As the wrapping sheet is not fixed with adhesive to the smoking article, the smoker is required to wrap the wrapping sheet tightly, to help to prevent it from slipping off the smoking article. It is therefore apparent that assembling the flavourant-containing wrapping sheet onto a conventional smoking article is a difficult and time-consuming process.A further disadvantage is that, as the wrapping sheet is applied to the entire tobacco rod section of the smoking article, there is limited capacity for the smoker to control when the flavourant is released during smoking.
US 2004/00992R0 also relates to flavoured wrapping materials and discloses incorporating tiavourants mto the wrapping material and into the adhesive used to bind the wrapping material together. However, in this invention the flavourant-containing wrapping material is incorporated into the smoking article at the time of manufacture and therefore cannot he applied by the smoker after purchase of the smoking article.
According to a first aspect of the invention a flavoured article for application to a combustible portion of a smoking article is provided wherein the flavoured article does not substantially envelop the combustible portion of the smoking article.
\Vhen the flavoured article is adhered to the surface of the smoking article and the smoking article is lit, the flavoured article is combusted as the conabustible portion to which it is adhered combusts and the flavour is released.
For the purpose of this invention, the snioktng article may he interpreted as being of standard size. In an embodiment, the smoking article may be of standard size, with a length and diameter of standard smoking articles. In another embodiment, the smoking article may he super-slim, with a length and diameter of super-slim smoking articles.
According to a second aspect of the invention, a method of making a flavoured article as described above is provided.
According to a third aspect, use of a flavoured article is provided whereby the article is applied to a smoking article to provide a desired taste sensation upon smoking.
The above advantages and features are of representative embodiments, presented to assist in understanding the invention, and are not exhaustive and/or exclusive.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following description, from the drawings, and from the claims

The thickness of the matrix layer 2 may he at least about 1 mm, optionally within a range of about 1 mm to 3 mm.
The weight of the matrix layer 2 may be: up to 100 mg, up to 150 mg, or UI) to 201) mg. The preferred weight of the matrix layer is up to 150 mg.
Optionally, the matrix 4 may contain pockets of air, or other expandable materials, to impart a sound clement when the flavoured article 1 is applied to the smoking article and the smoking article is lit. The air pockets may he formed by incorporating a solid into the matrix that expands on heating to create the air pockets. The air pocket forming solid may be, for example, menthol crystals in powder form.
The fiavourant 5 may he present at sufficiently high levels in the flavoured article I so that, when the flavoured article is combusted, the flavourant is present at levels that can he detected in the mainstream smoke. At the same time, the flavourant may be present at sufficiently low levels in the flavoured article so that, when the flavoured article is combusted, the Ilavourant is present at levels that are not overpowering to the smoker and that allow the smoker to add further flavoured articles to add more flavour to the mainstream smoke, if desired.
The flavourant 5 may be in liquid phase or may be in solid phase. In some embodiments, it is preferably in solid phase. The flavourant may comprise ground menthol crystals or menthol crystals in powder form. When in liquid phase, the fiavourant may be encapsulated and/or semi-encapsulated. In an embodiment, the tiavourant is in a liquid form and is added at 0J% by weight. In another embodiment, the flavoured article 1 comprises up to 5 mg menthol.
As used herein, the terms ccflavour "flavouring", and cct1aorant refer to materials which may be used to create a desired taste or aroma. They may include plant-based flavourants, for instance comprising or deriving from basil, mint, bay leaves, cardamom, cumin, oregano, paprika, rosemary, saffron, thyme, tea, eucalyptus, lemon, beefsteak plant, curcurna, turmeric, cilantro, rose, tobacco and orange blossom. The mint fiavourant may he chosen from the following mint varieties: Men/ha.ln'enth, Meiitiia cv., 114ev/ha nhliaca, Metitha piper/ta, Men/ha pijberh/a ritrata c. v., iVlenihapi)5erh/a C. /, \Ient/ja sphca/a crhpa, )en/ha carthfiuia, Men/ha /ongfoIba, Mentha SULI ceo/ens variga/a, Mentha pu/intm, Men/ha sphcata c. v., and Men/ha suai'eo/ens.
Other flavourant materials may include extracts (e.g., licorice, hvdrangea, Japanese white bark magnolia leaf, chamomile, fenugreek, ciove, menthol, Japanese mint, aniseed, cinnamon, herb, wintergreen, cherry, berry, peach, apple, Drambuie, bourbon, scotch, whiskey, spearmint, peppermint, lavender, cardamom, celery, cascarilla, nutmeg, sandalwood, bergamot, geranium, honey essence, rose oil, vanilla, lemon oil, orange oil, cassia, caraway, cognac, jasmine, ylang-ylang, sage, fennel, piment, ginger, anise, coriander, coffee, or a mint oil from any species of the genus Men/ha), flavour masking agents, bitterness receptor site blockers, receptor site enhancers, sweeteners (e.g., sucralose, acesulfame potassium, aspartame, saccharine, cyclarnates, lactose, sucrose, glucose, fructose, sorhitol, or mannitol), and other additives such as chlorophyll, minerals, hotanicals, or breath freshening agents.
They may he imitation, synthetic or natural ingredients or blends thereof.
Preferably, the fiavourant is menthol.
Combinations of flavourants 5 may he used to achieve a desired overall flavour when the flavoured article i is combusted.
As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the adhesive 7 preferably exists as a layer separate from the matrix layer 2, so that, in use, the adhesive layer 3 contacts the smoking article. In an embodiment, the adhesive coats the entire surface of the matrix layer, although the matrix layer may also he part-coated with adhesive. The adhesive may he added after the matrix layer has been formed.
The adhesive 7 may be self-adhesive. Alternatively, it could he moisture activated.
The flavoured article I may he self-adhesive, for ease of application. The adhesive 7 may have sufficient tack to adhere to and maintain the position of the flavoured article on the smoking article, and sufficiently low tack to allow the flavoured article to be peeled off and repositioned if necessary. The adhesive is preferably a starch-based adhesive. In an embodiment, the adhesive is Adhesive Swift 5675 side stream paste. The amount of adhesive for each flavoured article is suitably at least about 50 mg, preferably within a range of about 50 mg to 100 rug. The amount of adhesive for each strip is suitably at least 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100 mg. )
The adhesive layer 3 may be sufficiently thin to not inhibit the transfer of heat from the smoking article to the matrix layer 2 and/or flavourant layer 8 when the smoking article is combusted.
The adhesive layer 3 may cover the complete area of the flavoured article I. Alternatively, it may be intermittent, or it may he applied to the perimeter of the flavoured article.
As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the adhesive, flavourant and/or matrix layer may comprise colourant 6. Such colouring may he advantageously used to indicate to the consumer which particular flavourant S is present in the flavoured article 1. For example, when the flavourant is menthol, the adhesive, flavourant and/or matrix layer is preferably green. The colouring may he used to give the flavoured article an agreeable appearance. The colouring is preferably food grade colouring.
The flavoured article I may have a sufficiently large surface area to carry sufficient colourant 6 and/or flavourant 5. The flavoured article is preferably of a thickness to carry sufficient colourant and/or flavourant. The thickness of the flavoured article is preferably at least about I mm, preferably within a range of about 1 mm to 3 mm.
The flavoured article I is preferably placed on the exterior of the smoking article.
The flavoured article is to he placed on a combustible portton of the smoking article, that is, on the wrapper surrounding the tobacco rod portion of the article, which is combusted during the normal use of the smoking article. Such positioning is intended to result in the combustion of the flavoured article when the smoking article is combusted, thereby releasing flavoured smoke that can be inhaled by the user.
Figure 3 illustrates one possible positioning of the flavoured article 1 on an individual smoking article 9, which comprises a tobacco rod 10 and a filter il. The flavoured article is positioned along the length of the tobacco rod.
Figure 4 illustrates an alternative positioning of the flavoured article I on an individual smoking article 9, which comprises a tobacco rod 10 and a filter 11. The flavoured article is positioned around the circumference of the tobacco rod.
The flavoured article I may he placed along the length of the tobacco rod to give an even flavour, as indicated in Figure 3, or placed as a ring around the tobacco rod to give a more intensive flavour when this part of the tohacco rod is combusred, as indicated in Figure 4, or any combination of the two positions may he used.
Figures 3 and 4-show that the flavoured article I has a smaller surface area than the combustible portion of smoking article 9, so that a single flavoured article does not substantially cover or envelop the combustible portion when it is applied to the smoking article. This makes the flavoured article easy to handle and apply.
The flavoured article 1 may cover less than about SO°/o of the surface area of a combustible portion of the smoking article 9. The flavoured article may cover about 10% to about 20% of the surface area of a combustible portion of the smoking article.
The relatively small surface area of the flavoured article I confers the additional advantage that it is cost-effective to apply the adhesive layer 3 to the entire underside of the matrix layer 2, rather than just one border, so that it is not necessary for the flavoured article to joiii ends and/or adhere to itself when being fixed to the smoking article. In addition, the relatively small surface area of the flavoured article may minimise the alteration of the characteristics of the smoking article, such as changing the porosity of the smoking article.
The flavoured article I may be any shape. Suitably however, the flavoured article may be rectangular or disc-shaped, for ease of handling. Preferably, the flavoured article is a rectangular strip, as indicated in Figures 3 and 4. The rectangular strip allows for the optional positioning of the strip along the length of the smoking article 9 or around the circumference of the smoking article.
Figure 5 illustrates a rectangular strip of flavoured article I provided in a single length, with portion marks 12. The provision of portion marks may allow the smoker to remove the required amount of flavoured article to meet their taste requirements.
Tn an embodiment, the rectangular strip may be tapered at one end, so that it resembles a triangle. When applied along the length of the smoking article, as indicated in Figure 3, this may allow the delivery of different amounts of ilavourant as the smoking article 9 is combusted.
One flavoured article I may he used for each smoking article 9. Alternatively, the smoker may choose to add two or more flavoured articles to an individual smoking article, to increase the level of fiavourant 5 delivered to the mainstream smoke as compared with applying just one flavoured article to the smoking article.
The flavoured article I may he packaged in a stack of flavoured articles, xvherehy the articles are held in place by the adhesive layers 3 of each article, and the low-tack adhesive enables the uppermost flavoured article to he peeled off the stack when required for use. The flavoured article may also he packaged individually, for example using blister pack packaging.
Other than the release of flavourant 5, the combustion of the flavoured article I preferably has no noticeable effect Ofl smoking. The flavoured article preferably leaves no significant residue when combusted.
As used herein, the term ccsioking article" includes smokeable products such as cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos whether based on tobacco, tobacco derivatives, expanded tobacco, reconstituted tobacco or tobacco substitutes. Preferably, the smoking article is a cigarette.
Embodiments of the invention arc configured to comply with applicable laws and/or regulations, such as, by way of non-limiting example, regulations relating to flavours, additives, emissions, constituents, and/or the like. For example, the invention may he configured such that a smoking article implementing the invention is compliant with applicable regulations before and during use by a user.
The foregoing description and examples have been set forth merely to illustrate the invention and are not intended to he limiting. Since modifications of the described embodiments incorporating the spirit and substance of the invention may occur to persons skilled in the art, the invention should he construed broadly to include all variations within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
