Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for modifying or aromatizing the primary or secondary smoke of smoking products such as cigarettes, cigars and similar products, as well as the mixture intended to be smoked, for instance in a pipe or in the form of a cigarette, by applying to the wrapper of these products at least one solution of the aromatizing or modifying substances which are transferred onto the product in vapor phase in the confined atmosphere of the packing of these products. According to the invention, there is used as solvent a product which is non-volatile at ambient temperature and has a vapor tension less than that of the aromatic substance to be deposited.

Abstract: A wrapper distributing support band for the manufacture of cigars or similar products, wherein the "right" wrappers present a face of the tobacco leaf which is the reverse to that presented by the "left" wrappers.

Abstract: Glue for articles of the tobacco industry such as cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, filter tips, coupling-sleeves, etc., characterized by the fact that at ambient temperature it is in gel form composed mainly of water and gelatine, the gelatine concentration being in the 25-180% range in relation to the water weight, and a minor quantity of plasticizer for the gelatine in aqueous solution, belonging to the food polymers group comprising natural and modified vegetable gums and cellulose ethers, the plasticizer's concentration being within the 0.25-8% range in relation to the weight of the gelatine alone, and being adjusted so that the temperature at which the liquefied gel viscosity remains superior to 50 centipoises and becomes lower than 1000 centipoises is within the 40-70.degree. C. range.
