Smoking article wrapper and method of making same

A wrapper for smoking articles such as cigarettes, cigars and the like comprising a cellulosic fiber sheet containing, as filler, freshly precipitated magnesium hydroxide filler from a controlled reaction based on reagent addition at essentially equal stoichiometric rates applied to the cellulosic fibers, wherein the freshly precipitated magnesium hydroxide filler is precipitated in the presence of particulate magnesium hydroxide co-filler and in the absence of the cellulosic fibers.
