  In the cigarette with a filter in which one end is an ignition part and the other end is a mouthpiece part, the present invention is formed of two or more filter parts, and the filter part is nth (n = natural number) from the first filter part. : The same applies hereinafter) The cigarette with a filter having a variable filter part, characterized in that the filter part is formed by a filter part, and the filter part is connected in a separable state from the ignition part in a separable state or joined together. It is about.

In general, a cigarette has the effect of filtering or adsorbing nicotine and tar on one end of a cigarette part and a cigarette part obtained by winding a cut cigarette in a shaft form with a wrapping paper and a cigarette part wound with a cigarette in a shaft form. There is known a cigarette with a filter in which at least one type of filter medium provided with a filter unit obtained by winding a filter paper in a shaft shape is connected.
A cigarette with a filter has an ignition part at one end and a mouth part at the other end. A smoker ignites the ignition part and sucks it from the mouth part, so that the smoke flow from the ignition part of the cigarette part is tobacco. Into the filter part through the joint surface of the filter part and the filter part, and the smoke flow with reduced flavor, nicotine amount and tar amount due to the action of the filter material described above flows into the smoker's mouth from the mouth part It has become.
In recent years, individual preferences for filter cigarettes have diversified, so flavors (savory tastes, flavors, etc. that can be felt in the oral cavity when smoking cigarettes are contained in the smoke stream are comfortable to the human body. Various brands of filtered cigarettes with various parameters such as nicotine content, tar content, and air permeability have been developed and marketed.

  For example, as an example of the above-described cigarette, a cigarette in which small holes are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the filter at equal intervals in the circumferential direction is known. In this cigarette with a filter with a small hole, when smoking, air is introduced from the small hole so that the smoke flowing into the filter is diluted by the introduced air, and the diluted smoke flows into the smoker's oral cavity. By flowing into the smoker, the smoker can enjoy a light tobacco flavor. Numerous brands of this type of filtered tobacco are marketed as products that are supported by the market needs for a light tobacco flavor.

  Further, for example, as an example of the above-described cigarette, a product obtained by dispersing charcoal powder or activated carbon powder in a filter material (for example, a cellulose acetate fiber compressed into a shaft) is known. . In this cigarette with activated carbon dispersion filter, when smoking, the components were reduced by the action of filtering or adsorbing a part of nicotine and tar contained in the smoke flow flowing into the filter, and nicotine and tar were reduced. The smoker flows into the smoker's mouth so that the smoker can enjoy a light tobacco flavor. This type of filtered tobacco is marketed as a product supported by market needs for a light tobacco flavor.

  In addition, for example, as an example of the above-described tobacco, charcoal powder or activated carbon powder is filled in the front, middle, or rear of a filter material (for example, a cellulose acetate fiber compressed into a shaft). Things are known. In this cigarette with an activated carbon-filled filter, when smoking, the nicotine and tar were reduced by the action of filtering or adsorbing part of the nicotine and tar contained in the smoke flowing into the filter. The smoker flows into the smoker's mouth so that the smoker can enjoy a light tobacco flavor. This type of filtered tobacco is known as a product backed by market needs for a light tobacco flavor.

By the way, as for the preference of lightness regarding smoking, of course, there is a great difference between individuals as described above, but each individual also has a desire to change smoking taste depending on time and circumstances. It is known that there is.
However, since the cigarettes with filters that are purchased by each individual are usually of a fixed brand, the cigarette flavors that the cigarettes with the filters have are always the same. It is difficult to smoke with a different feeling.
For this reason, even with the same brand, a tobacco with a filter that can change its tobacco flavor is desired, and various proposals for obtaining such a tobacco with a filter have been made. Development projects have increased.

  For example, a cigarette body, a filter chip disposed in series at one end of the cigarette body and covered with plug paper, and a cigarette body and a filter chip are wound around both ends of the cigarette body and the cigarette body. A connection ring made of non-breathable paper for linking the cigarette body and the filter chip; a tip ring made of non-breathable paper wound around the end of the filter chip opposite to the cigarette body; A filter chip is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the filter chip exposed between the tip ring and the connecting ring in a non-adhering state so as to cover the outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of notches are formed in one of the tip ring and the connecting ring. An intermediate ring made of non-breathable paper that is detachably connected via a cut line, between the connecting ring and the tip ring. A ventilation part that allows air to be introduced into the filter chip from the outside is formed in a part of the outer peripheral surface of the filter chip, and a second cut line similar to the first cut line is formed on the intermediate ring, The ring is a separable separation ring portion formed between the first and second cut lines, and when the separation ring portion is separated, the ring slides on the outer peripheral surface of the filter chip in the axial direction and 2. Description of the Related Art A cigarette with a filter is known that includes a sliding ring that varies the exposure amount of the ventilation portion. (See Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-57138)
