Abstract

The flavor and aroma of tobacco products are altered by adding thereto an effective amount of at least one N-substituted pyrrole having the formula: ##SPC1## Wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen or alkyl and are the same or different and R.sub.3 is alkyl containing eight to fourteen carbon atoms, alkenyl containing three or four carbon atoms, cycloalkyl containing from three to twelve carbon atoms, phenalkyl containing seven to eleven carbon atoms, carboalkoxyalkyl having three to seven carbon atoms, alkoxyphenylalkyl having eight to twelve carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl having two to five carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl having two to six carbon atoms, (alkylthio)-alkyl having two to six carbon atoms, mercaptoalkyl having from two to six carbon atoms, mercaptophenyl, pyrazinyl, pyridinyl, or thiazolyl.
