Method and device for flavouring a cigarette

Abstract

The invention relates to the influencing of “flavour/smell” of cigarette while smoking, by injecting additives to the cigarette, at the filter side or the tobacco side, using a device specially designed for this purpose. The user controls the cigarette taste, intensity of taste, and the smell by choosing the liquid material and quantity to be injected into the cigarette before or while smoking. The invention is intended to improve the experience of smoking of any desired cigarette.

1 . A method of adapting cigarette flavour and taste to the smoker preference before or while smoking the cigarette, by using special device to insert additives material to the cigarette. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising the step of injecting additives to the cigarette at the filter side. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising the step of injecting additives to the cigarette at the tobacco side. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the additives material is inserted by penetrating the cigarette by means of a nozzle and injecting the additives material into the cigarette, where after the additives material can be inhaled by the smoker together with the tobacco smoke. 
     
     
         5 . A device specially designed to insert material into a cigarette, for adapting the taste of said cigarette to a specific desired taste. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , which device is adapted to be attached to a cigarette package. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , formed together with a lighter in one unit. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , adapted to be attached to a cigarette package. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 5 , comprising a flavour material container and a penetrating nozzle, which penetrating nozzle is adapted to be inserted into the cigarette and inject flavour material of the flavour material container into the cigarette. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , adapted such that the flavour material injection is activated by pressing the flavour material container. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 9  comprising a button, wherein the device is adapted such that the flavour material injection is activated by pushing the button. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the button is located on the back side of the device, i.e. the side of the device which faces away from the cigarette to be flavoured. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the button is connected to a flexible diaphragm or a piston which is adapted to pressurize flavour liquid within the flavour material container, when the button is pushed. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 13 , wherein the flexible diaphragm or piston is located within the flavour material container. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 5 . comprising an open cup which is adapted to receive a cigarette end and guide the cigarette so that a penetrating nozzle may be brought to enter the cigarette centrally.
