Abstract

See full text

A method of making a smoking article comprises providing a folly or partially fabricated smoking article comprising at least a tobacco rod of tobacco wrapped in cigarette paper; adhering a foldable paper to the cigarette paper such that the foldable paper encircles the tobacco rod and overhangs the cigarette paper at an end of the tobacco rod that is intended to be lit; and folding the overhanging foldable paper to substantially cover the tobacco at the end of the tobacco rod. Various techniques can be employed to apply different lengths of foldable paper to the tobacco rod and to achieve different folding patterns. The folded paper may be inverted by pressing inwardly with a pin or rod after folding to produce a more permanent fold.
