page_text: I ALFRED GEORGE GOODES of 51 Newgate Street, in the City of London, Cigar
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My Invention consists in coating cigars and cigarettes with a layer of granulated
or powdered tobacco with a view to cause them to burn slowly and regularly and
to leave a uniform white ash; to protect the outer leaf or wrapper of the cigar from
damage by handling or otherwise, and to obviate the disagreable taste and smell
produced by the burning of the paper of the cigarette.
According to my invention, the granulated or powdered tobacco is applied to the
manufactured cigar or cigarette and caused to adhere thereto by first covering the
cigar or cigarette with a thin film of a suitable adhesive material, such as gum
tragacanth, and then dusting the powdered tobacco over the cigar or cigarette so
covered, care being taken to leave the paper of the cigarette and the leaf of the
cigar exposed at one end to insert in the mouth.

I. ALFRED GEORGE GOODES of 51 Newgate Street in the City of London Cigar
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:-
My Invention relates to the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes; and it has for
its object in the case of cigars, to impart a fine flavor to an inferior cigar, to cause
a cigar of which the outer wrapper is of inferior or uneven burning quality to
consume away as regularly as the best and most. uniform leaf, and to ensure in all
cases the formation of a uniformly fine white ash indicative of a well made cigar
of superior quality. In the case of a cigarette, the object of the Invention is to
cause them to burn more slowly, and to conceal or obviate the disagreeable taste
and smell produced by the burning of the paper wrapper of the cigarette.
The Invention consists in the application to cigars and cigarettes of an even
coating of granulated or powdered tobacco of fine quality which is applied to the
manufactured cigar or cigarette and caused to adhere thereto by first coating the
outer wrapper of the cigar or cigarette with a thin film of a suitable adhesive
material (such as gum tragacanth for instance) and then dusting the powdered
tobacco over the adhesive surface. The point of the cigar, or the end of the
cigarette which is to be placed in the mouth, is left uncovered. The powdered or
granulated tobacco form's a coating of even texture and uniform appearance, and
being made from broken leaf I am enabled at a comparatively small cost to use in
this way tobacco of the very finest quality, and thus to greatly improve the flavor
and smoking qualities of inferior tobacco without appreciably increasing the cost of
the cigars and cigarettes.
The Invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein figure 1
shews a cigar, and figure 2, a cigarette coated with the granulated or powdered
tobacco. The point of the cigar and the end of the cigarette which is to be
inserted in the mouth, is left uncovered, as will be seen.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is ;-
:
As new articles of manufacture, cigars and cigarettes covered with a uniform
adherent coating of granulated or powdered tobacco, as and for the purpose specified.
