Definitions

  • One or more embodiments relate to a smoking article having improved flavor persistence and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a smoking article having improved flavor persistence by applying a flavoring sheet or a composition thereof to a wrapper portion, and a method of manufacturing the smoking article.
  • Flavoring treatment is performed on smoking articles (e.g., cigarettes) in various methods to satisfy smokers' preferences.
  • An example of a representative flavoring treatment method may include the direct addition (e.g., injection) of a flavoring liquid to a smoking material, such as pipe tobacco, or a filter plug.
  • a smoking material such as pipe tobacco, or a filter plug.
  • the example methods have various drawbacks, such as a limit to an amount of flavoring liquid added, non-emission of an intended flavor, and a sharp decrease in flavor emission during smoking.
  • the flavoring liquid may coagulate with the smoking material, and thus it is difficult to add a large amount of flavoring liquid. Also, during smoking, the flavoring liquid may deteriorate due to a high heating temperature (or a burning temperature), and thus an unintended flavor may be emitted.
  • the method of adding a flavoring liquid to a filter plug may allow for a larger amount of flavoring liquid than the method described above, but still have a limit to an amount of flavoring liquid added.
  • an added flavoring liquid may be rapidly emitted in an early stage of smoking, and thus flavor emission may decrease towards a latter stage of smoking. Also, when an excessive amount of flavoring liquid is added, a wrapper wrapping a filter plug or a smoking material may be wetted, which leads to contamination.
  • One or more embodiments include a smoking article having improved flavor persistence.
  • One or more embodiments include a method of manufacturing a smoking article having improved flavor persistence.
  • a smoking article includes: a smoking material portion; a filter portion; and a wrapper wrapping at least a portion of the smoking material portion.
  • a flavoring (or flavor) sheet including a hydrocolloid material and flavoring may be applied to the wrapper.
  • a method of manufacturing a smoking article includes: manufacturing a wrapping material by using a flavoring composition including a hydrocolloid material and flavoring or a flavoring sheet manufactured from the flavoring composition; and manufacturing the smoking article including a smoking material portion by wrapping at least a portion of the smoking material portion via the manufactured wrapping material.
  • a flavoring (or flavor) sheet or a composition thereof may be applied to a wrapper portion of a smoking article.
  • the flavoring sheet may be a material manufactured in a solid phase and, unlike a flavoring liquid, may slow down the volatilization of flavoring to effectively prevent most of a flavor from being emitted in an early stage of smoking, thereby significantly improving flavor persistence of the smoking article. Accordingly, an amount of flavoring added, an addition position, and the like may also be precisely adjusted.
  • a method of applying a flavoring sheet to a wrapper may more easily adjust an amount of flavoring added and also more easily adjust a flavor emission position than a method of applying cut pieces of a flavoring sheet to a smoking material portion (e.g., combining cut pieces of a flavoring sheet with pipe tobacco).
  • a wrapping material of the smoking article may be easily manufactured by laminating wrapping paper of the smoking article and the flavoring sheet or by applying the composition of the flavoring sheet onto the wrapping paper.
  • the smoking article may be manufactured by intactly using existing manufacturing equipment (i.e., equipment for performing wrapping of the smoking article).
  • the flavoring sheet may be easily attached to the wrapper portion without an adhesive.
  • the flavoring sheet and the wrapping paper may be easily laminated without an adhesive. Accordingly, a manufacturing process of the wrapping material may be simplified, and may be free from a safety issue due to the adhesive.
  • FIG. 1 is an example view schematically illustrating a smoking article having improved flavor persistence according to one or more embodiments.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 are example views illustrating various application methods of a flavoring (or flavor) sheet according to one or more embodiments.
  • FIG. 5 is an example view schematically illustrating a smoking article having improved flavor persistence according to one or more embodiments.

  • the flavoring sheet may be used as the wrapper.
  • the flavoring sheet may have a thickness of about 40 ⁇ m to about 150 ⁇ m.
  • the flavoring sheet may be attached to an inner side of the wrapper.
  • At least a portion of the wrapper may be made of metal foil, and the flavoring sheet may be arranged on an inner side of the metal foil.
  • the inner side of the wrapper may be coated with a composition of the flavoring sheet.
  • a method of manufacturing a smoking article may include: manufacturing a wrapping material by using a flavoring composition including a hydrocolloid material and flavoring, or by using a flavoring sheet manufactured from the flavoring composition; and manufacturing the smoking article including a smoking material portion by wrapping at least a portion of the smoking material portion with the manufactured wrapping material.
  • the manufacturing may include laminating the flavoring sheet and the wrapping paper by injecting a liquid having no viscosity or adhesiveness.
