Abstract: A filter for a cigarette includes a porous filter rod circumscribed by an air impermeable wrapper and ventilation grooves embedded in the wrapped filter rod which extend from one end of the filter rod a preselected distance generally longitudinally thereof. A plurality of ventilation air flow apertures are formed through the wrapper. Some of the air flow apertures are located in the grooves and others of the air flow apertures are formed in the area of the wrapper outside of the grooves. An air impermeable tipping material circumscribes the wrapped filter rod. The tipping material is formed with a plurality of ventilation air flow apertures therethrough such that each ventilation air flow aperture through the tipping material is in substantial registration with a different one of the ventilation air flow apertures formed through the wrapper.
