Plugged Cigarette, Cigarette Shell and Method of Producing a Plugged Cigarette

Abstract

A cigarette including a first rolling material of a first area density that is between about 50 and 100 g/m 2 and a hollow body with a support tip arranged inside of a proximal end of the hollow body. The hollow body is loaded with a smokeable material. The cigarette is plugged at a distal end of the body using a second rolling paper with a lower area density compared to the first rolling material. Various other features are disclosed, including a filter tip arranged inside of a proximal end of the hollow body. The cigarette shell includes a second rolling paper with a lower area density compared to the first rolling material, forming a sleeve of which a first portion extends within the body and of which a second portion projects from the body out from a distal end thereof in a longitudinal direction of the body.

1 . A cigarette, such as a blunt or a cigar, comprising a first rolling material, such as paper, dried leaves or flower petals, of a first area density that is about 50-100 g/m 2 , a hollow body, wherein the hollow body comprises a support tip arranged inside of a proximal end of the hollow body, and wherein the body is loaded with a smokeable material,
 characterized in that, the cigarette is plugged at a distal end of the body, using a second rolling paper with a lower area density compared to the first rolling material.   
     
     
         2 . The cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the second rolling paper forms a sleeve of which a first portion extends within the body and of which a second portion projects from the body out from the distal end in a longitudinal direction of the said body, and wherein the second portion comprises a physical deformation such that the sleeve is closed. 
     
     
         3 . The cigarette according to  claim 2 , wherein the smokeable material extends from the tip to the physical deformation, beyond the distal end of the hollow body formed by the first rolling material. 
     
     
         4 . The cigarette according to  claim 2 , wherein the physical deformation is a closed twist in the paper, such as provided by pinching the second portion between two fingers and rotating the body with respect to the pinched portion around the longitudinal axis of the cigarette. 
     
     
         5 . The cigarette according to  claim 2 , characterized in that, the second rolling paper has an area density of about 10-40 g/m 2 , wherein the second rolling paper is attached, such as glued, to the inner surface of the first rolling material such that the outer circumference of the sleeve and inner circumference of the body are the same. 
     
     
         6 . The cigarette according to any one of  claim 1 , wherein the second rolling paper in an only extends between about 2-0.5 cm into the body. 
     
     
         7 . The cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the second rolling paper only projects between about 2.5-1.0 cm from the body. 
     
     
         8 . The cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the first rolling material is, in its unrolled form, is shaped as an isosceles trapezoid, and wherein the body is frustoconical. 
     
     
         9 . The cigarette according to  claim 8 , wherein the second rolling paper, in its unrolled form, is also shaped as an isosceles trapezoid. 
     
     
         10 . The cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the smokeable material comprises cannabis, or a blend of tobacco and cannabis or marijuana. 
     
     
         11 . A cigarette shell comprising a first rolling material of a first area density that is about 50-100 g/m 2 , a hollow body, wherein the hollow body comprises a filter tip arranged inside of a proximal end of the hollow body, characterized in that, the cigarette shell comprises a second rolling paper with a lower area density compared to the first rolling material, and wherein the second rolling paper forms a sleeve of which a first portion extends within the body and of which a second portion projects from the body out from a distal end thereof in a longitudinal direction of the said body. 
     
     
         12 . A method of making a cigarette comprising the steps of:
 providing a shell according to claim  11 ;   loading the shell with a smokeable material, beyond the distal end of the body;   applying a physical deformation to the second portion where it projects from the body, such that the smokeable material is prevented from falling out of the shell at the distal end.   
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein the step of applying a physical deformation comprises pinching the second portion, such as between two fingers, and rotating the body with respect to the pinched portion around the longitudinal axis of the cigarette such that a closed twist is formed in the second portion. 
     
     
         14 . The cigarette according to  claim 3 , wherein the physical deformation is a closed twist in the paper, such as provided by pinching the second portion between two fingers and rotating the body with respect to the pinched portion around the longitudinal axis of the cigarette. 
     
     
         15 . The cigarette according to  claim 14 , characterized in that, the second rolling paper has an area density of about 10-40 g/m2, wherein the second rolling paper is attached, such as glued, to the inner surface of the first rolling material such that the outer circumference of the sleeve and inner circumference of the body are the same.
