Filter containing built-in capsule, cigarette provided with filter and cigarette substitute provided with filter

Abstract

[Problems] The present invention provides a filter containing built-in capsule in which a tobacco flavor enhancing liquid that can enhance flavor aspects such as taste, aroma, and richness is encapsulated, along with a cigarette and cigarette substitute comprising this filter.[Resolution means] The cigarette in which filter containing built-in capsule 1 according to the present invention is incorporated includes cut leaf 2, rolling paper 3, filter 4, and tip paper 5, with easily breakable capsule 6 incorporated in filter 4, and tobacco flavor enhancing liquid 8 including natural cacao extract encapsulated in film 7. When smoking, by pinching the filter part to crush capsule 6, film 7 bursts, causing tobacco flavor enhancing liquid 8 to ooze into filter 4 and enabling enhancement of the taste, aroma, richness, etc. specific to tobacco.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a filter containing built-in capsule in which a tobacco flavor enhancing liquid that can enhance flavor aspects such as taste, aroma, and richness is encapsulated, along with a cigarette and cigarette substitute comprising this filter.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Smokers conventionally smoke cigarettes for a variety of reasons (for example, relaxing, socializing, simple addiction, etc.). Under such circumstances, with antismoking campaigns having become widespread in recent years, numerous smokers who do not want to stop smoking instead continue to smoke low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes.[0003]However, in changing their daily cigarettes to low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes, smokers feel that the latter cigarettes are actually weak in taste, light, and do not provide a sense of smoking, etc., causing them return to smoking high-tar and high-nicotine cigarettes.[0004]On the other hand, Patent Document 1 described below disc...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]According to the present invention, when smokers crush a capsule with their fingers, if necessary, the tobacco flavor enhancing liquid encapsulated in the capsule and including natural cacao extract oozes into the filter, thereby providing enhanced taste, aroma, richness, etc. specific to tobacco, which could not be supplemented by a casing source added to cut leaves alone. Consequently, it becomes unnecessary to select a high-tar and high-nicotine tobacco, effectively providing smokers with the same flavor even with a low-tar and low-nicotine tobacco. In addition, when the present invention is used in an electronic cigarette, etc., even such a tobacco not containing tar or nicotine will have the same taste as real tobacco. This effectively allows cigarette substitutes to exert this taste.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

Problems solved by technology

However, in changing their daily cigarettes to low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes, smokers feel that the latter cigarettes are actually weak in taste, light, and do not provide a sense of smoking, etc., causing them return to smoking high-tar and high-nicotine cigarettes.

However, according to this smoking device, as the sensory irritation component is directly added to the tip paper, this component is in continuous contact with the air.

Therefore, it tends to vaporize, resulting in the problem of the taste and aroma likely being lost.

In addition, when smokers hold a cigarette, it stimulates the senses directly via the mouth, making it impossible to distinguish between low-tar and high-tar depending on their current mood, etc.

Therefore, it does not sufficiently satisfy the taste of smokers as described above.
