1, LOUIS WARSHAWSKY of 1, Booth Street, Spitalfields, London, E. Cigarette
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in the manufacture of cigarettes
the object being to form a mouth piece which will prevent the secretion of nicotine
at the end held by the lips of the smoker, will maintain the end of the cigarette
dry and at the same time ensure free passage for the smoke.
In carrying the invention into effect a cylindrical plug of cork (or light wood)
of the same size in cross section as the cigarette proper is to be and provided with
a central hole, is rolled up with the paper covering of the cigarette at one end
thereof. Gum is used at this end of the paper so as to retain the plug, and after
this operation is completed there is to be rolled and gummed upon this mouth piece
end of the cigarette a further enwrapping piece of waxed paper this last portion
being made to extend beyond the mouth piece plug and a little over the tobacco-
filled portion of the cigarette, so giving an effective finish thereto.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Cigarettes.
I LOUIS WARSHAWSKY of 2 Montague Street Spitalfields in the County of
London Cigarette Maker 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 certain improvements in the manufacture of cigarettes
the object thereof being to form an absorbent mouth piece which will prevent the
tobacco from becoming wetted by the moisture from the lips or condensed vapour
while allowing a free passage for the smoke.
According to this invention a cylindrical plug of cork or light absorbent wood of
the same diameter as the cigarette is rolled up with the paper covering of the
cigarette at one end thereof the paper being gummed to retain the said plug which
is perforated from end to end to allow of the passage of the smoke.
A second wrapper of waxed paper or other suitable material extending over the
tobacco filled portion of the cigarette a little beyond the mouthpiece is gummed or
otherwise secured to the paper covering of the cigarette to prevent the said covering
from sticking to the lips and to give a finish to the cigarette.
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 1
claim is
1. In the manufacture of cigarettes the use of a hollow cylinder of cork or other
suitable material rolled up with and secured to the paper covering of a cigarette
as and for the purpose stated.
II. The improved mouthpiece for cigarettes consisting of a hollow cylinder of
cork or other suitable absorbent material inside the paper covering and an outer

page_text: wrapper of waxed paper or other suitable non-absorbent material all substantially
as described for the purpose stated.
Dated this 4th day of April 1892.
