Rod-shaped smoking article from the tobacco processing industry comprising at least two longitudinally-axially arranged segments (2, 3) which are interconnected by a wrapping structure, the smoking article having the following: a. a mouth-side end and a distal end opposite the mouth-side end, b. a first segment comprising a tobacco-containing substrate, preferably arranged directly at the distal end of the smoking article, c. a second segment, in particular arranged adjacent to the first segment, with an outer lateral surface, a cavity arranged in the longitudinal-axial direction and an inner lateral surface and d. an intermediate layer, preferably completely or partially consisting of paper, aluminum, plastic, metal and/or tobacco-containing film, which has a thickness and a surface area, e. wherein the intermediate layer is arranged between the end faces (12, 13) of two adjacent segments (2, 3), in particular between the first segment and the second segment, the intermediate layer being arranged between the end faces (12, 13) of two adjacent segments (2, 3) such that the longitudinal-axial projection of the intermediate layer only covers a region of the end faces (12, 13), characterized in that the intermediate layer has an upper side and a lower side and the upper side and/or lower side is bonded by a bonding material (23, 34), in particular a liquid, an adhesive, a glue or a pasty material, to an end face (12, 13) of a segment (2, 3) adjacent to the intermediate layer, in particular the upper side is bonded to an end face of the second segment and/or the lower side is bonded to an end face of the first segment, in that the intermediate layer is provided at least in part with openings, in particular a perforation, wherein in particular the total surface area of the openings is between 5 mm 2 and 25 mm 2, preferably between 10 mm 2 and 15 mm 2, and in that each edge portion of the intermediate layer has a radial distance from the wrapping structure, in particular greater than 0.2 mm. a. a mouth-side end and a distal end opposite the mouth-side end, b. a first segment comprising a tobacco-containing substrate, preferably arranged directly at the distal end of the smoking article, c. a second segment, in particular arranged adjacent to the first segment, with an outer lateral surface, a cavity arranged in the longitudinal-axial direction and an inner lateral surface and d. an intermediate layer, preferably completely or partially consisting of paper, aluminum, plastic, metal and/or tobacco-containing film, which has a thickness and a surface area, e. wherein the intermediate layer is arranged between the end faces (12, 13) of two adjacent segments (2, 3), in particular between the first segment and the second segment, the intermediate layer being arranged between the end faces (12, 13) of two adjacent segments (2, 3) such that the longitudinal-axial projection of the intermediate layer only covers a region of the end faces (12, 13), characterized in that the intermediate layer has an upper side and a lower side and the upper side and/or lower side is bonded by a bonding material (23, 34), in particular a liquid, an adhesive, a glue or a pasty material, to an end face (12, 13) of a segment (2, 3) adjacent to the intermediate layer, in particular the upper side is bonded to an end face of the second segment and/or the lower side is bonded to an end face of the first segment, in that the intermediate layer is provided at least in part with openings, in particular a perforation, wherein in particular the total surface area of the openings is between 5 mm 2 and 25 mm 2, preferably between 10 mm 2 and 15 mm 2, and in that each edge portion of the intermediate layer has a radial distance from the wrapping structure, in particular greater than 0.2 mm.
