Elongated smoking article

Elongated smoking article extending in a longitudinal direction, comprising:

• a cylindrical smoking body with a combustible material surrounded by a wrapping paper;
• a filter element configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element from the burning smoking body;
• and
• a tipping paper circumscribing the smoking body and the filter element and being attached to external surfaces of the smoking body and the filter element,
• wherein a flavoring is disposed in or on the tipping paper with a distribution that varies in a circumferential direction of the tipping paper,
• wherein the amount and/or type of flavoring contacting a smoker's lips depends on a rotational state of the elongated smoking article with respect to the circumferential direction,
• wherein the filter element has a circular cross section and the tipping paper has a circular ring cross section,
• wherein the flavoring is disposed within a first section of the tipping paper, the first section of the tipping paper being disposed on a first circle sector of the filter element extending in the longitudinal direction of the elongated smoking article, and
• wherein, in a first circular ring cross section of the tipping paper, the flavoring within the first section of the tipping paper extends circumferentially between a first pair of opposite ends
• wherein, in a second circular ring cross section of the tipping paper, the flavoring within the first section of the tipping paper extends circumferentially between a second pair of opposite ends, the second pair of opposite ends each being aligned, along the longitudinal direction, with the flavoring within the first section in the first circular ring cross section.
