By the way, cigarettes are not always smoked in a timely manner, but are often smoked while sewing between work. For this reason, there are many cases in which smoking is forced to be interrupted by a call or a visitor during smoking. In such a case, the smoker extinguishes the fire, even if the tobacco leaves remain for a long time.

In the conventional cigarette, since the main body is one continuous shaft, the part where the tip of the cigarette is lit remains as a burning shell in the main body.

After that, if the tobacco leaf portion remains for a long time, it may be ignited again and smoked. However, a cigarette that has been extinguished and then reignited
The flavor has fallen, and the brand's taste is no longer available. It is considered that this is because the part that became the cinder by the fire extinguishing turns into tar, and this tarred part burns by re-ignition.

Therefore, the extinguished cigarette is
Even if the tobacco leaf part remains for a long time, it has to be discarded as it is and is wasted. In particular, long-sized cigarettes, which have recently been put on the market in various types, are often discarded while leaving the tobacco leaf portion long.

Further, a smoker may want to smoke only for a short time. However, since the conventional cigarette has a fixed length of about two types, it cannot be completely sucked, and is discarded wastefully while leaving the tobacco leaf portion long.

[0012] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette which can be smoked without waste for a short time, and can be enjoyed again with good flavor even if smoking is stopped midway.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a plurality of shaft-shaped cigarette bodies each having a tobacco leaf portion which is separated from each other and in which each diced cigarette is wrapped with a wrapping paper. The shaft-shaped portions are butted in the longitudinal direction to cover the butted portion, and
A cigarette is configured to be separably connected by a tubular body that is bonded to an ignition-side shaft portion with an adhesive.

According to the above construction, since the shaft-shaped portion on the mouthpiece side and the shaft-shaped portion connected to the mouthpiece can be separated from each other, smoking can be finished in a short time or smoking can be interrupted for some reason. In this case, the shaft-shaped part on the ignited side may be separated from the other shaft-shaped part on the suction side, and the separated shaft-shaped part may be extinguished. In this way, the cigarette is extinguished and smoking is finished, leaving a shaft portion on the smoker's side that has not yet been lit.

After that, the smoker may ignite and smoke at the tip of the shaft-like portion left at hand when smoking is allowed. In this case, the shaft-like part at hand has not yet been ignited, and since it has no cinder, the tar-like cinder part does not deteriorate in flavor due to burning.

In the cigarette of the above construction, the shaft-like portion may be composed of only tobacco leaf portions like a double-cut cigarette, but the tobacco leaf portions of one of the shaft-like portions which are butted against each other. The filter may be provided inside the tubular body between the other and the tobacco leaf portion of the other shaft-shaped portion.

According to this structure, most of the harmful components such as nicotine and tar contained in the smoke generated in the shaft portion on the ignition side are adsorbed by the filter located closer to the shaft portion on the suction side. To be removed. Therefore, the toxic components are rarely attached to the cut tobacco contained in the mouthpiece-side shaft, and the flavor is not deteriorated when the mouthpiece-side shaft is ignited for smoking.
