Complete Specification Left, 9th June, 1893-Accepted, 1st July, 1893
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Cigarettes.
I DADJAD AJDERIAN of 47 Beyuk Yeni Han Constantinople Turkey, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of cigarettes the object being to
enable the tobacco to be completely consumed by the smoker and to prevent the
unpleasantness arising from a portion of the tobacco being constantly between the
lips and to strengthen the cigarette and prevent it from breaking, and to absorb
the nicotine.
According to my invention I make the cigarette of tissue paper as usual but I
leave a short length at one end unfilled with tobacco and this I strengthen by an
outer case or tube of card board or other suitable stiff material.
This stiffened part is then filled with cotton, wool or other absorbent or porous
material medicated or otherwise and this end will thus form a suitable kind of
filtering mouthpiece to the cigarette.
The tongue or lips cannot come into contact with the tobacco owing to the
porous filling at this end which however will not interfere with the smoking of
the cigarette but will intercept any nicotine coming from the tobacco.
The strengthening tube also will prevent the end of the cigarette from becoming
too soft and breaking in the smoker's mouth.
Dated this 9th day of September 1892.

I DADJAD AJDERIAN of 47 Beyuk Yeni Han Constantinople Turkey, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
This invention relates to the manufacture of cigarettes the object being to
enable the tobacco to be completely consumed by the smoker and to prevent the

My invention will be readily understood from the following description and
accompanying drawing therein referred to, the figure being a sectional view of a
cigarette made according to my invention.
I make the cigarette with tissue paper a as usual but I leave a short length at
one end unfilled with tobacco and this I strengthen by an outer or inner case or
tube of card board or other suitable stiff material.
This stiffened part is then filled with cotton, wool or other absorbent or porous
materiale medicated or otherwise and this end will thus form a suitable kind of
filtering mouthpiece to the cigarette.
The tongue or lips cannot come into contact with the tobacco d owing to the
porous filling c at this end which however will not interfere with the smoking of
the cigarette but will intercept any nicotine coming from the tobacco.

page_text: The strengthening tube also will prevent the end of the cigarette from becoming
too soft and breaking in the smoker's mouth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The manufacture of cigarettes with strengthened tube at one end, not filled with
tobacco but with a filling of absorbent or porous material substantially as and for
the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated by the annexed drawing.
