Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cigarette product having a filterless tobacco rod, a connector to which a tobacco rod is attached, and a cigarette holder. [Prior Art] To date, cigarettes with a high degree of ventilation often have an unacceptably low resistance to draw (RTD) unless some countermeasures are used to compensate for the lack of RTD. The resistance is the pressure difference of the cigarette product under FTC conditions. In the past, high density cellulose acetate filter segments were used to address this deficiency. However, this filter section tends to lower the tower and has little effect on the gas phase components of the mainstream smoke, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO). This solution tends to worsen the C0 to tower (FTC) ratio of low smoke (FTC) cigarettes. Ventilation has desirable properties by reducing the particle phase and gas phase of mainstream smoke during individual operation. However, hyperventilated cigarettes have the disadvantages of the RTD discussed previously. In addition, most filter cigarettes are typically designed to have a tobacco rod attached to a cellulose acetate filter. Although the filter ventilates proportionally to the particle phase (PP) and vapor phase, cellulose acetate removes only the particle phase. Depending on the overall cigarette design, such conventional filter cigarettes with venting holes have a carbon monoxide (FTC) ratio of 0.8 to 2.5. The ratio of carbon oxide to tower ("C0 to tower ratio") of a filterless cigarette is generally between 0.45 and 0.65. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore desirable to have a smoking article having a high degree of aeration, an acceptable draw resistance (RTD), and a favorable C0 to tower ratio. According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a cigarette article comprises a yarn of 200911143; and a connector for attaching a tobacco rod at an upstream end of the connector, the device comprising: a cavity; a transverse spacer in the cavity, a transverse spacer Having an orifice; and a plurality of venting passages disposed along a periphery of the connector, the plurality of passages having an inlet at an upstream portion of the connector, and an outlet for connecting the chamber, and according to a specific embodiment, a kit includes a connector for receiving a tobacco rod upstream, the connector comprising: a cavity; in the cavity, the lateral spacer has at least one aperture; and a plurality of ventilation channels disposed around the periphery, the plurality of ventilation channels having an inlet and an outlet The chamber provides aeration; a mouthpiece insertable into the downstream end portion of the connector can be inserted into the tobacco rod of the downstream portion of the connector. In accordance with another embodiment, a kit includes a plurality of connectors that receive a strand of wire at an end portion, and wherein the plurality of connectors have a degree of ventilation 'a plurality of connectors includes: a cavity; laterally within the cavity, The transverse spacer has at least one aperture; and a plurality of venting channels surrounding the connector, the plurality of venting channels having an inlet and an outlet for venting the supply. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 shows a filterless cigarette (smoked tobacco) 20, a restricted connection, and a cigarette product in the form of a cigarette holder 40. The filterless cigarette 20 is preferably a cigarette product contained in a substantially cylindrical strip 22 (i.e., tobacco rod) (Fig.) in the outer packaging 24. Outer package 24 is typically a porous packaging material or paper. Restricting the connector or connector 30 with different types of mouthpieces 40 connected to the filter cigarette 20 ° Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the cigarette product of Fig. 1 which is connected to the cross section of the end of the ventilation And the upstream partitions 30 of the different compartments include the second package without the connector -6 - 200911143 30 (the plurality of longitudinal venting channels 60 in the form of longitudinal venting passages, the mainstream smoke of cigarette products 10 Gas provides ventilation). As shown in Fig. 2, the substantially cylindrical strip 22 of the cigarette material 2 1 is generally referred to as a "tobacco strip" and has an ignition or upstream end 12 and a downstream end 14 . The cigarette material 21 is preferably crushed tobacco or tobacco shreds. However, any suitable cigarette material 21 can be used with the 烟 connector 30 extending beyond the mouthpiece 14 of the tobacco rod 22 such that the connector 30 and the tobacco rod 22 overlap each other. Connector 30 has a generally cylindrical bore in which cavity 32 is formed. The inner diameter of the cavity 32 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the tobacco rod 22, preferably establishing a sliding fit therebetween. The connector 30 includes an upstream end 16 and a downstream end 168 which are open to allow airflow and mainstream smoke to pass. Venting of the chamber 32 can be established by a plurality of longitudinal venting passages 60. A plurality of venting passages 60 may be formed in the wall of the connector 30 or extend into the periphery of the connector 30, and are preferably circumferentially spaced around the periphery of the connector 30. The plurality of venting passages 60 vent the chamber within the connector 30 during smoking, wherein the air mixes the mainstream smoke before it reaches the mouthpiece 40. Preferably, the venting passage 60 in the connector 30 achieves a degree of venting of at least 10%, and more preferably at least 50% to 90%. According to a particular embodiment, the connector 30 can include a transverse spacer 50' that defines at least one small diameter aperture (or flow restrictor) 52. The transverse spacer 50 may comprise a circular plate 5 4 having at least one aperture 5 2 (Fig. 4). The transverse spacer 50 divides the cavity 32 of the connector 30 into a first or upstream cavity 34, and a second or downstream Cavity 36. During smoking, the transverse spacer 50 introduces a drag resistance (RTD) into the cigarette product, which is generally expected by a typical smoker. Lateral 200911143 The spacers 50 are preferably disposed equidistantly from the ends 16, 18 of the connector 30. It should be understood, however, that by varying the location or location of the lateral spacers 50 and/or the number and location of the at least one aperture 52, the resistance to drag (RTD) can be varied and/or varied to establish the desired RTD of the smoker of the smoking article 10. degree. At least one aperture 5 of the transverse spacer 50 provides a desired resistance (RTD) to the cigarette article 1 that is similar to a conventional filter cigarette. It will be appreciated that different venting levels (e.g., 1% to 90%) may be added to the connector 30 via the plurality of venting passages 60 to provide the desired tower effluent (F T C) from the same cigarette 20 or tobacco rod 22. The geometry of the connector 30 can also be adapted to reduce the chance of the finger blocking or obstructing some or all of the plurality of venting passages 60 during smoking. As shown in Fig. 2, the connector 30 extends beyond the upstream end 17' of the mouthpiece 40 such that the connector 30 and the mouthpiece 40 overlap each other. The mouthpiece 40 also has a generally cylindrical shape, and preferably has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the tobacco rod 22 and the connector 30 to establish a sliding fit between the mouthpiece 40 and the connector 30. The ends 17, 19 of the mouthpiece 40 (i.e., the upstream end 17 and the downstream end 19) are open to allow airflow and mainstream smoke to pass. Furthermore, the ends 17 and 19 of the mouthpiece 40 may have different diameters 'where the downstream end 19 may have a smaller diameter than the upstream end 17' which causes a flow path (not shown) between the ends 17, 19 of the mouthpiece 40 Chemical. In a preferred embodiment, the mouthpiece 40 includes a sheet of molded polymeric material or a section of filter material, such as a length of cellulose acetate in the wrapper. In an alternate embodiment, the mouthpiece 40 can include a filter material 7 (Fig. 9). Preferably, the mouth material 7 is cellulose acetate; however, any suitable filter material can be used. For example, in an alternative embodiment 200911143, the 'filter' mouth material 70 can include activated carbon (often referred to as carbon fiber) or any other suitable filter material 70 and/or absorbent and/or other additives (eg, flavoring agents). ) is disposed in all cellulose acetate. It should be understood that since the cigarette holder 4 is not directly attached to the cigarette 2 or the tobacco rod 2 2, the mouthpiece 4 can be separately stored. Thus, the mouthpiece 40 can include a different flavoring agent 72 (Fig. 10) (e.g., menthol) or a functional medium 74 (e.g., a catalyst or flue gas diluent) that can be applied and retained or added to the mouthpiece 40. In addition, the flavoring agent 72 and/or the functional medium 74 can be individually sealed and separately retained until placed in the mouthpiece 4〇. It should be understood that 'because the lateral spacers 50 are preferably provided with the desired resistance to the cigarette article 1', the mouthpiece 40 does not encounter the low resistance of the cigarette article 1 having a high degree of aeration. Rather, it is preferred to have the mouthpiece 40 constitute a low particle efficiency. Connector 30 is preferably made of a paper product or biodegradable plastic or other suitable material having a degrading power. The mouthpiece is preferably formed from a suitable self-supporting material that can be easily molded, such as synthetic plastic, paper, or other biodegradable material. Connector 30 and mouthpiece 40 may also be constructed with or without fragrance or with any particular application material (e.g., catalyst, fumes, carbon, etc.), and with or without a porous paper plug at the mouth or downstream end 19 for appearance. The connector 30 has a generally cylindrical body and its inner diameter 31 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the stringer 22. Connector 30 includes an outer surface 33 and an inner surface 35. The inner surface 35 is preferably smooth to receive the mouth or downstream end 14 of the tobacco rod 22, or the upstream end 17 of the mouthpiece 40. As shown in Fig. 3, the connector 3 includes a plurality of inlets, preferably located at the upstream end 16 of the connector 30. The plurality of venting passages have a substantially elliptical cross-section' and the venting passages 〇 are preferably spaced equidistant from the periphery of the connector 3〇 200911143. The inlet 62 of the venting passage 60 is preferably upstream of the connector 16 6 ' such that the smoker's fingers do not block the air flow during smoking. It will be appreciated that the connector 30 in accordance with one embodiment is preferably sized such that the tobacco rod 2 套 fits snugly into the connector 30 with the mouthpiece 40 and is maintained between the transverse spacer and the tobacco rod 20 and/or the mouthpiece 40. The required separation relationship. Alternatively, the spacing between the tobacco rod 20 and/or the mouthpiece 40 and the transverse spacers 50 may be used in a desired manner using slack, circular blocking, a member ring or a portion thereof, or other suitable blocking element. It will be appreciated that while the venting passage 60 has an elliptical cross-section as shown in Fig. 3, the venting passage 60 can have any suitable cross-section, including a circle, a rectangle, or a V-shape. The connector 30 preferably has a smooth cylindrical inner surface 35 at the ends 16, 18 of the adjacent tobacco rod 20 mouthpiece 40. It should be understood that it can be added to the connector 30 via a combination of the size of the passage or groove 60 and the number of venting passages 60 to provide the desired flue gas from the same mouthless cigarette 20 or single tobacco rod 22. (FTC Tower). Furthermore, the geometry of the connector 30 and the plurality of venting passages 60 can be designed such that it is difficult to block the venting passage 60. In this way, the prevention of the clogging can shorten the length of the connector, and the filter length of the filter cigarette is very close to that of the conventional igniting end. As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of venting channels 60 are located inside the limiting connector and along the connector. One of the 30 lengths extends longitudinally. As shown in FIG. 5, the connector 30 includes a port 64 of the cavity 32 of the connector 30. The outlet 64 provides air venting to the chamber 32, wherein the air stream (i.e., the passage) mixes the main smog from the tobacco rod 22. The outlet 64 can be located in the upstream chamber 34 of the connection 30. However, it is also understood with reference to Figure 10 that in the alternative embodiment, the outlet 64 is located at the end of the wire 50 and the set of filters is 30 〇 30 out of discharge -10- 200911143. In an alternative embodiment, the outlet 64 is located at the connector 30. Downstream cavity 36 or downstream of lateral spacer 50. The exit 64 of the venting passage 60 is at least 5 mm from the mouthpiece 40, and more preferably in the range of 5-25 mm. It should be understood that the diameter and length of the venting passage 60 can be selected to impart a desired degree of pressure differential to the flow of venting air. As shown in Fig. 6, the lateral spacer 50 includes a plate 504 having at least one aperture 5 2 . The size of the orifices 5 2 is preferably such that the cigarette article 10 exhibits a pressure differential of at least 40 mm water or greater, preferably 50-80 mm water; Preferably, the transverse spacer 50 has a diameter of from about 7.0 to 8.0 mm, and more preferably from about 7.4 to 7.8 mm. The transverse spacers 50 preferably have at least one or, optionally, at least two apertures 52 each having a diameter of from about 0.2 mm to about 0.8 mm, and more preferably from about 0.3 to 0.6 mm, and most preferably about 0.4 mm. The transverse spacer 50 is also preferably formed integrally with the connector 30 to form a unit. In addition, the lateral spacers 50 are preferably invisible to smokers. The transverse spacer 50 can be made of paper, biodegradable plastic, or metal, and is preferably made of a paper product or other suitable material having degradative properties. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the lateral spacer 50 of Fig. 6 along line 7-7. As shown in Fig. 7, the transverse spacer 50 preferably has a thickness 56 of from about 0.5 mm to about 1.5 mm, and more preferably a thickness 56 of about 1.0 mm. Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a lateral spacer 50 comprising a plate 504 having at least two apertures 5 2 . As shown in Figure 8, the plate 54 has at least two apertures 52 that are equally spaced about the center of the transverse spacers 50. It should be understood, however, that the plurality of orifices 5 2 may be arranged in any suitable arrangement -11-200911143. The number and size of the orifices 52 and their position in the plate 54 depend on the desired resistance to draw (RTD) or pressure differential, and the efficiency of the transverse spacers 50. In another embodiment, the transverse spacer 50 can be coated with a microencapsulation flavor 58. As shown in Fig. 8, it coats the plate 5 4 of the lateral spacer 50 with a micro-encapsulation flavor 58. During the puffing, the high-energy flue gas strikes the plate 54 and/or moisture from the mainstream flue gas, which releases the flavoring agent of the microencapsulated flavoring agent 58 into the mainstream smoke. In addition to the microencapsulated flavoring agent 5, any other suitable material 58 or catalyst can be used to create a taste upon impact of the mainstream smoke at or near the spacer 50. Or it should be understood that moisture from mainstream smoke can release flavor 58 (as a result of expansion, evaporation, distillation, decomposition, or other suitable reaction) to the moisture in the mainstream smoke. Flavoring agent 58 may be a single ingredient or a multi-taste ingredient suitable for use in the manufacture of cigarettes such as menthol and vanilla. Alternatively, the flavoring agent can be selected from spices such as mint, coconut, baking and/or barbecue flavoring. However, almost any essential oil or composition can be used. In addition, the concentration of flavoring agent 58 at the lateral spacers 50 can be adjusted or modified to provide the desired amount of flavoring agent 58. Thus, the concentration of the flavoring agent 58 in the transverse spacer 50 may vary depending on the desired aroma and/or sensory quality of the smoke. FIG. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the cigarette article 10 of FIG. The connector 30 has a lateral spacer 50 and a plurality of ventilation passages 9 下游 on the downstream side of the lateral spacers 50. The plurality of venting passages 9 〇 preferably include at least one row of apertures or perforations 92 each extending through the outer surface 33 of the connector 3 . As shown in Fig. 9, the connector 3 includes a cavity 32 enclosing the first or upstream cavity 34 and the second or downstream cavity 36, and the lateral spacer 5 is located on the upper -12-200911143 swim and downstream cavity 34, Between 36. In the alternative, a plurality of venting passes may be located on the upstream side of the transverse spacer 50. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing another specific example of the cigarette article 1 of Figure 1, wherein the cigarette filter 40 has a lateral spacer 50 and a venting passage 60', wherein the outlet 64 of the plurality of venting passages 60 extends to the vessel 30. The downstream cavity 36. In the alternative, the outlet 64 can be located downstream of the compartment and upstream of the spacer 50. Figure 11 shows another specific cross-sectional view of the connector 30 of Figure 1, wherein at least a portion of the upstream cavity 34 includes a coffin. As shown in Fig. 1, the filter material 80 prevents the loose tobacco material-shaped cigarette material from clogging the orifices 5 of the lateral spacers 50. It will be appreciated that the feedstock 80 can be any suitable porous material that prevents the loose tobacco or fragrance 21 from occluding at least one orifice 5 2 of the transverse spacer 5 . Fig. 12 shows an alternative embodiment in which the laterally spaced flow restriction can be frustoconical and contract toward or away from the flow direction of the mainstream smoke. As shown in Fig. 12, the lateral spacer 50 includes an aperture 5 2 of the abutment shape 5 3 . Figure 13 shows another alternative embodiment in which the connection includes a pair of lateral spacers 5 〇. As shown in Figure 13, a pair of lateral partitions includes a pair of plates 54 (Fig. 6), wherein each plate 54 has at least - 52 °
