Complete Specification Accepted. 25th May, 1889
I, ROBERT DEMETRIUS FYERS, 10 Lower James Street, Golden Square, London
Middlesex, cigarette manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This my invention relates to a certain new and useful improvement in cigarettes
and which invention has for its object to provide a tip or mouthpiece which wil
prevent the cigarette paper from sticking to the lips and without which the paper
becomes moist and unpleasant, tears easily and allows the tobacco to adhere to the
lips and enter the mouth. It is moreover found that the paper has an injurious
effect, inasmuch as it is liable to cause soreness to the lips and occasion thereby much
discomfort.
By the use of cigarettes made in accordance with this my said invention, the
aforesaid disadvantages are entirely overcome in a cheap, simple, neat and efficacious
manner hereinafter described.
In this my invention 1 form the cigarettes with a tip or mouth piece which
consists of a piece of tobacco leaf, cut to any suitable width and length, and which
is wound around one end of the cigarette; the end thereof being secured by any
suitable adhesive.
By this means I provide a lip or mouth piece which is capable of being readily and
cheaply manufactured, and which moreover gives to the cigarette a pleasing and
finished appearance.

I, ROBERT DEMETRIUS FYERS, of 10 Lower James Street, Golden Square,
London, W. Cigarette Manufacturer, 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 my invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in cigarettes,
and which invention has for its objects to provide a tip or mouth-piece which will
prevent the cigarette paper from coming in contact with the lips, and therefore it
cannot adhere to them moreover the cigarette paper does not become wet or torn:
the seam of the cigarette paper does not become undone and my invention renders
the cigarette cool-smoking and improves the flavour.
I now proceed to describe my said invention, reference being had to the ac-
companying drawings and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon;
similars letters indicating like parts throughout.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a cigarette made in accordance with any present invention,
and Fig. 2. is an elevation showing a modification of my improvement.
In this my invention 1 form upon the cigarette A, a tip or mouth-piece B, which
consists of a piece of tobacco leaf, cut to suitable width and length, and which is
wound around one end of the cigarette; said tip being secured by any suitable
adhesive.
The tip or mouth-piece may have an ornamental edge C, of any desired pattern or
configuration, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
I am aware that cigarettes have heretofore been made with a tobacco leaf wrapped
around, and extending the whole length of the cigarette, but I wish it to be under-
stood that I do not claim such as my invention.
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 :-
1. In combination with cigarettes, a tip or mouth-piece, consisting of a piece of
tobacco leaf wound around one end of a cigarette, and said tip secured by an
adhesive substance, all substantially as and for the purposes herein before set forth.
2. The tip or mouth-piece ornamented substantially as herein before set forth and
illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.
